Supporting Irish Literacy with Fónaic le Fís
Helping children build confidence in Irish reading starts with a clear, structured approach to sounds, blending and word recognition.
Fónaic le Fís is a systematic Irish phonics programme designed to support phonological awareness, phonemic awareness, phonics and reading skills. ABC School Supplies
A Clear Learning Progression
The programme is designed to build skills step by step, helping pupils move from sound recognition towards blending, decoding, fluency and more confident reading.
Books A, B and C build on one another, with later stages introducing more advanced spelling patterns, broad and slender consonants, lenited consonants, long vowels and decodable texts. ABC School Supplies
More Than Just Phonics
Fónaic le Fís also includes supporting classroom resources such as flashcards, posters, songs and decodable readers, giving teachers different ways to reinforce learning across the week. ABC School Supplies
