Your Child’s learning – Guidelines for parents

The NCCA is developing a series of short leaflets for parents about particular aspects of their children's learning in primary school. The first one is already available to download. It's about reading and writing in the infant classes and gives parents information about how children are helped towards reading and writing. The leaflet also includes some tips about how parents can support this early learning at home.
