Description
Introducing Focail Ardmhiníochta na Gaeilge!
Discover the perfect starting point for early Irish readers! Having taught naíonáin myself for years and having to create my own worksheets to support their learning of the sight words I decided to share them in this workbook. This workbook focuses exclusively on sight words as Gaeilge, giving young learners the tools they need to build confidence and fluency in Irish.
This Irish Sight Words Workbook is a focused literacy resource created to support emergent readers in developing automaticity and confidence with high-frequency focail radhairc (sight words) in Irish. Unlike the wealth of English sight word materials available, Irish learners often lack dedicated, developmentally appropriate resources — this workbook bridges that gap.
Aligned with the Primary Language Curriculum (PLC) for Gaeilge, this workbook supports the following key learning outcomes for Junior and Senior Infants:
📚 Curriculum Links:
-
Reading – Understanding: Engage with simple texts and demonstrate understanding through discussion and activities (Learning Outcome 6).
-
Reading – Exploring and Using: Recognise, read, and use frequently occurring words (Learning Outcome 9).
-
Language Awareness – Reading: Develop an awareness of the function of words and word patterns (Learning Outcome 10).
This workbook includes:
-
A carefully chosen bank of high-frequency focail radhairc
-
Repetition-based and scaffolded activities to aid retention and recognition
-
Opportunities to read, trace, write, and use words in context
-
A format suitable for independent practice, group work, or home reinforcement
Ideal for mainstream classrooms, learning support, or Gaelscoileanna, this resource empowers educators to embed Irish language acquisition meaningfully and systematically into early literacy instruction.
