You can help your child be successful in his or her study of French even if your are not familiar with the language. Here are a few suggestions to help your child practice the material in this chapter.

While your child is learning the clothing vocabulary, spend a few minutes together each evening looking at pictures of clothing in magazines. Have your child write the French name for the different items of clothing next to the pictures. you can make this activity more challenging by having your child write a short sentence about which styles and clothing he or she prefers.

Feel free to plan other activities you think will help your child’s language skills. Thank you for supporting our classroom work.
