Using knowledge about language

Early First Second Third Fourth
Through listening to and joining in with story-telling, games, rhymes and songs, I have explored and experimented with sound patterns, words and phrases in Gaelic.
When reading on my own or with others, I can read familiar words and simple phrases and sentences.
I can use my knowledge about language and pronunciation to ensure that others can understand me when I read aloud or say familiar words, phrases and short texts.
I can apply my knowledge about language, intonation and pronunciation to:
  • ensure that others can understand me when I pronounce familiar words or phrases
  • help me work out how to pronounce unfamiliar words
  • read a short text aloud with accuracy and confidence.
