People Who Help Us picture match – 2nd Class

How to use this at home

Your child practises recognising 6 Irish words about people who help us 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.

1. Before the pencil comes out, go through the word list above together. If the pronunciation column is there, say each word out loud; if not, ask your child how their teacher says it. Children love being the expert.
2. 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?
3. Play dress-up: your child picks a job and you guess the Irish word.
