Ar Aghaidh Leat
A comprehensive reference book for planning and teaching Irish lessons in primary schools
Ar Aghaidh Leat is a bilingual reference book designed specifically for teachers in primary schools or parents supporting their child in developing the Irish language in the home. It provides an invaluable compilation of vocabulary, grammar, comprehension, writing and presentation skills to support the delivery of the Primary Language Curriculum.
It was developed by an experienced primary school teacher with the aim of enabling teachers to plan Irish lessons with proven teaching methodologies that reflect the diversity of their students' language experience.
Ar Aghaidh Leat aims to consolidate aspects of the three strands of the New Primary Language Curriculum. Within these strands are elements that describe essential language learning: developing communicative relationships through language, understanding the content and structure of language, and exploring and using language.
