Here's an idea: Free French eBook and 5 French websites every French teachers should know!

Salut! Hi everyone!
If you teach French, you know how tough it can be to find resources for your classroom. Of course, I'm talking about QUALITY resources. That's why a group of great teacher-authors has decided to put together a FREE French eBook of tips and links to freebies for the back-to-school season or should I say "pour la rentrée"? Laudalina from Profs et Soeurs is the mastermind of this amazing initiative and Ms. Joanne has been so generous to host the eBook. What about me? I was honored to organize it!

But before we get to the eBook, I would also like to share 5 FREE websites you can use for extra activities when teaching French. They are presented in no specific order and I'm not affiliated with any of them. I just really think they're very useful.

Here we go:

1. IL ÉTAIT UNE HISTOIRE...

This site has a LOT of stories for kids. It's well-organized into categories, e.g. "Contes et Légendes", "Fables et poésies", etc, and the best part is that they present the text and give you the option of listening to a narrator reading it.
Oh, and the "Comptines et Chansons", of course, are sung!

The site can be used in so many ways in the classroom.

You can:
- have students listen to the narrator while reading the text during computer time
- play the audio to use it in listening comprehension activities
- just use the text for reading comprehension activities
- have students sing along the "comptines"

2. FRANCE TV ÉDUCATION

This is a section of the site that is dedicated to education. It's got videos, texts, games about many subjects, such as "Histoire" and "Sciences".

They've also got quizzes to test the level of proficiency in French. Click on the image below to check out one of the quizzes.

5. TV5 MONDE

Last but not least is the section of the TV5 website dedicated to "la langue française". There are a lot of resources from which to choose. They've also got sections for those who teach French and those who learn French.

My favorite section is "Les Fables de La Fontaine" with 8 fables with text and audio. Click on the image below to check them out.
