Litriú: Irish Spellings for School

Help your child learn their Irish spellings. Type in the weekly list from school and practise it the classroom way (look, say, cover, write, check), with every word read aloud and a spelling test at the end.

How it works

Type in the Irish spellings your child brought home from school, or paste the whole list in one go. Then practise them the way they are taught in Irish classrooms:

  1. Féach (look) at the word
  2. Abair (say) it out loud, with the Irish read aloud to help
  3. Clúdaigh (cover) it
  4. Scríobh (write) it from memory
  5. Seiceáil (check) it, with any wrong letter or missing fada shown in red

When the list is learnt, the spelling test reads each word aloud like a teacher calling out spellings, then marks the lot at the end. The list stays on your own device, and you can share it with a link.
