How to use this at home
Your child practises recognising 6 Irish words about winter by linking each written word to its picture. It builds reading confidence: the child has to look at the whole word, fadas included, rather than guess from the first letter.
- Cover the answer key and let your child do the sheet alone, then check it together using the answer page. Talk about any mix-ups: which two words looked alike?
- Do it twice: once today, and again in three or four days with a fresh print. The second go is where the words really stick.
- Getting ready to go out on a cold morning, name each piece of clothing in Irish. For example, ciarsúr means "tissue / hanky".
