NB Grade 7 FI Reading case studies
NB Grade 7 FI Reading · Put your knowledge to work in context.
The New Brunswick Grade 7 French Immersion Reading assessment measures how well a Grade 7 student in the French Immersion stream understands written French and responds to it. It is intended for students in the provincial immersion program and for the teachers and parents who support them; it is not a professional certification or a university entrance requirement. The assessment draws on two broad text types: informational texts such as articles, reports and explanatory pieces, and literary texts such as stories, narratives and descriptive passages. Questions probe literal comprehension, interpretation and inference, vocabulary and language conventions in context, and the ability to support a response with evidence from the text. The NB Grade 7 FI Reading case studies are 5 cases and about 2,128 words.
