Following on from the material we studied last year in Senior Infants, we will now begin to do some basic reading and writing in Irish. This is a step-up from the oral-only Irish we studied in Junior and Senior Infants as we introduce reading and writing in our native language.
The study and love of our native language is a very important subject. We encourage children to really love Irish by selecting a relevant and engaging textbook. We provide parents complete translations to the text and answers to the exercises in our custom-made Answer Key (included in your Course Manual). We also help both parents and children with their pronunciation and reading abilities with a phonics text designed for the Gaelscoil environment. Additionally, we work on our reading and vocabulary expansion with the delightful and vintage Soilse series.
The perfect way to study Irish–at home!
Placement: This course is intended for 6-7 year old children. It is suitable if your child completed Senior Infants Irish (at school or with us).
New to Irish? The course can also be suitable for the 7 year old child who is just beginning Irish for the first time.
