The National Council for Curriculum and Assessment (NCCA) has developed two information leaflets for parents on the new Primary Language Curriculum:

• A one-page leaflet answers key questions from parents about the curriculum.  
• A two-page leaflet gives more detail on these key questions parents have about the curriculum.

The leaflets are available in English and Irish at www.curiculumonline.ie . The shorter leaflet might be more helpful for parents for whom neither English nor Irish is their first language. The leaflets explain why there is a new language curriculum and how it is different to the current curriculum for English and Irish, and they inform parents of their important role in supporting and encouraging their children’s language learning at home. In addition to the leaflets, the new Language Curriculum online includes a section called Support Material. While much of this looks at classroom work, parents might find some of it helpful in supporting their children at home. The material includes lots of advice, photos and videos about children learning to talk, read and write. Over time, more materials on how parents can support their children's language and literacy development through conversations and everyday activities and routines, will be added to the website.
