French Homework Tool Kit:http://www.fslhomeworktoolbox.ca/

• This web site is really great and I think most parents will find the Toolbox link very helpful with French pronunciation. If you click on "Toolbox" Then "everyday Language" you will find many word lists. You can click on the words and hear the proper pronunciation.

• Also Under the "Look and Listen" link you will find Instructional strategies to support your child in reading, writing, and math at home.

French / English Dictionary:www.wordreference.com

 

• This is a translating web site. It has many language translations, so please be sure to choose the English to French or French to English translation from the pull down menu next to the text box. This site is a great resource if used properly. It is in my opinion the best online translator. One important thing to know is that it works best with one word at time.
