This manual for first grade French instruction accompanies the early French immersion program. It is based on general and specific learning objectives for the four language skills the child needs to develop (listening, speaking, reading, and writing). The introduction to the manual provides an overview of the program for the primary grades and learning objectives for the four language skills for grades 1-7. Each of the lessons provides specific objectives for the teacher, learning objectives for the student, suggested class activities and lesson content, instructional materials, suggested evaluation procedures, and references. An appendix provides an outline of reading texts to be used in each grade of the program. (AMH)
