How to use this at home
Your child practises the exact spelling of 7 Irish words about autumn. Because the letters have to match exactly, they quickly learn that a fada matters: á is a different letter from a, just as it is in their school copybook.
- When a word has a fada, point it out before searching ("look for the í with the line on top"). That habit pays off later when they write the words themselves.
- Make it a race: you look for one word while your child looks for another. The answer key on page 2 settles any arguments.
- Collect a few leaves and sort them by colour, naming the colours in Irish.
