Pronunciation is a rough guide. If your child's teacher says it differently, go with the teacher.

How to use this at home

Your child practises the exact spelling of 9 Irish words about family. 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.

  1. Read the word list together before starting, using the English meanings beside each word. Your child ticks each word off as they find it.
  2. Make it a race: you look for one word while your child looks for another. The answer key on page 2 settles any arguments.
  3. Look through old photos and name who is in each one.
