Grade 5
Do you teach Core French 5 or have students who are learning French for the first time? The units on this page are designed to build a strong foundation for students to gradually develop their French language skills. While these units align with the Core French Grade 5 curriculum, they are also suitable for students with limited exposure to French. Feel free to adapt the lessons to meet your students’ needs. Amusez-vous bien!
