Learning Irish at home
In school, your child is learning Irish (Gaeilge) as part of the Primary Language Curriculum (Curaclam Teanga Bunscoile). The four tip sheets below have been developed to help you support your child(ren) as they learn Irish (Gaeilge).
Each tip sheet describes a range of activities which you can do with your child(ren) at home ‘as Gaeilge’. These materials are designed to be fun and engaging for both parents and children.

Praise the youth and they will flourish!
