French: Reading comprehension worksheets: Ontario

Answer comprehension questions in French in complete sentences, built as sujet + verbe + complément

Locate named facts in a French informational text — the Confederation date, the highest point and its height, the capital, the origin of the province's name

Use French interrogative words (qui, quand, où, comment, pourquoi, combien, quel) to work out what each question is asking for

Give page 8 before the text on pages 9 and 10 is handed out; page 18 asks students to compare their earlier ideas with the text, and that comparison only works if the prior-knowledge page was written first

Page 5 pairs every French question word with its English equivalent, which makes it a useful reference sheet to leave on the desk while students work pages 12 and 13

Question 2 asks for the name of the highest point and question 5 for its height; both live in the single Ishpatina Ridge (693 m) line, so point that line out to students who skim past it

French reading comprehension — students pull fourteen specific facts about Ontario out of a two-page French informational text rather than answering from general knowledge.

Writing full answers in French — page 4 defines a complete sentence as sujet + verbe + complément and page 6 models two or three acceptable phrasings for each of six question types.

Interrogative vocabulary — the glossary on page 5 lays out qui, avec qui, quand, où, comment, pourquoi, combien, dans combien de temps, quel, lequel and que with English equivalents.
