Sounds and Stories

There is a story for each sound. If the story is too difficult for your child to read themselves, read it with them and ask them to listen out for words that have that sound. Look through the file below 'Introduction and Activity Ideas' so that you have a good overview before starting the weeks, or individual sounds.

As part of the new Junior Cycle Program presentations play a large part of the marking system. So if the older children have i.e. 4th -6th have access to a computer or laptop at home with PowerPoint it would be a good help to them to develop their skills in making a PowerPoint. e.g. Adding slides; copying and pasting pictures; adding special effects between slides etc. |
