The National Council for Curriculum and Assessment (NCCA) has developed a new Primary Language Curriculum for English and Irish.
The NCCA has developed two information leaflets for parents. The leaflets are available in English and Irish at www.curriculumonline.ie
The leaflets explain why there is a new language curriculum and how different it is to our current curriculum for English and Irish, and they inform parents of their important role in supporting and encouraging their children’s language learning at home. The material also includes lots of advice, photos and videos about children learning to talk, read and write.
As part of the Department’s strategy to improve children’s literacy and numeracy skills, the National Literacy Agency developed the website www.helpmykidlearn.ie This provides some suggestions for enjoyable activities in which parents and their children can engage. Information for parents about resources to support literacy and numeracy in Irish is available for COGG, www.cogg.ie
