Reading for Pleasure in French: A Study of the Reading Habits and Interests of French Immersion Children.

Romney, J. Claude; And Others

Canadian Modern Language Review, v51 n3 p474-511 Apr 1995

A study of 127 French immersion students in Alberta found over two-thirds never read in French for pleasure outside school, a finding not influenced by gender, French reading achievement, or attitude towards reading in French. However, students benefitted from some methods used by teachers to stimulate reading. (51 references) (Author/MSE)
