Following on from the material we studied last year in Second Class, we continue reading and writing in Irish. In Third Class, we also introduce your child to Irish Grammar (which we’ll continue studying in depth through Sixth Class!).
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). The textbook we utilise also offers a range of online resources to help non-natives (or mothers who haven’t studied Irish in a while!) teach Irish to their children—no experience necessary. The pronunciations given online are excellent to help your child learn to speak and understand Irish well!
Additionally, we work on your child’s reading and vocabulary with the delightful and vintage Soilse series. In Third Class, we begin a more thorough study of Irish Grammar. We will work through our Grammar book at a slow and manageable pace over the next 4 years!
The perfect way to study Irish–at home!
Placement: This course is intended for 8-9 year old children. It is suitable if your child completed Second Class Irish (at school or with us).
New to Irish? We’d really recommend starting with our Second Class Course as the reading and writing skills learned there are a good foundation for Third Class study and beyond. However, if your student around Third or Fourth Class is very mature, a confident reader in English–and is otherwise dedicated to spending the time and learning the language, this could be a good starting point. If you’re still not sure where to start, contact us today for more guidance!
