happyhappyjoyjoy Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 Has anyone ordered French literature from scholastic in Canada? http://www.scholastic.ca/clubs/lecture/index.htm#parents Helpful hints on how to navigate the page for a novice are greatly desired. I'm actually the scholastic coordinator for my HS group here, so I have a teacher account. I don't know if that would help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YHZNS Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 I have. :) You need to contact customer service and provide proof that you are a registered homeschooler. (We provided a scan of our registration letter from the school board.) After they confirm you are a registered homeschooler they will give you an account number. Once you have the account number you can contact customer service again to set a password. Feel free to msg me if you have any questions.

YHZNS Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 Also, word of caution... some of the texts are actually translations of English books. I would try to stick to "original" French texts whenever possible. Some of the translations are awkward... even for francophones! My eldest daughter went to a francophone school before she began homeschooling. Also, my husband is francophone. Rebecca Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happyhappyjoyjoy Posted April 9, 2011 Author Share Posted April 9, 2011 Thanks Rebecca! I called Scholastic here and they said I could not. I emailed Scholastic in CA to see what they say. I'm hoping that I can even though I'm outside of CA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YHZNS Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 Also, if you have particular suggestions for children's lit I'd love to hear them. My Daughter's school used the GB+ leveled readers. http://serveur1.odilon.ca/gbplus/ If you are teaching French as a second language I also recommend "Coup de pouce - Lexique thematique." It is a beginner dictionary grouped by theme. http://www.cheneliere.ca/main+fr+01_500+Francais_COUP_DE_POUCE_lexique_thematique_-_manuel_80_pages.html?DivisionID=2&ItemID=5100 It is used in the French Immersion programs. If you go to the French Resources tab and then click on "HOME" on the Canadian Parents for French (Ontario Chapter) web site you will be linked to lots of useful information including French bookstores and publishers. Hope this helps! Feel free to msg me if you need more information. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
