(2026) Recent studies provide evidence supporting inclusion and diversity within French immersion programs.

School boards across Canada actively strive to welcome diverse students into French immersion programs (e.g., OCDSB, 2025). Still, gaps exist in equitable access to French immersion (Barrett DeWiele & Edgerton, 2020; Kunnas, 2024). For example, students who are considered at risk for academic difficulties, such as students with additional learning needs and those from multilingual homes, are less likely to register, and to stay registered, in French immersion (Kay-Raining Bird et al., 2021).

(2026) Supporting French Immersion Students with Reading Difficulties and Reading Disabilities

Due to its popularity, the FI student population has become increasingly diverse (Bourgoin, 2014; Garrett & Mady, 2024). Today’s FI classrooms often include students with varied learning needs, including children who struggle to learn to read. Despite considerable research evidence that has established the suitability of FI for struggling readers (Genesee, 2007; Genesee & Erdos, 2019; Grosjean, 2019; Wise, D’Angelo, & Chen, 2016; Wise & Chen, 2015), some people believe that dual-language educational programs like FI are not suitable for students who have difficulties with reading acquisition or those with diagnosed reading disabilities (e.g., dyslexia). It is generally thought that learning two languages simultaneously will exacerbate their learning challenges (Genesee, 2015).
