Cá bhfuil Lúlú?
D'fhorbair Altram áis nua don chlár SureStart, scéal d'arb ainm Cá bhfuil Lúlú?. Is áis do chleachtóirí é agus tugann sé tacaíocht do luathfhorbairt scileanna teanga i bpáistí a bheadh taobh istigh de Chlár Forbartha SureStart don aoisghrúpa 2-3 bliana. Tugtar deis sa leabhar seo roinnt eochairfhocal agus bunabairtí tábhachtacha Gaeilge a chur i láthair páistí agus a chleachtadh taobh istigh de chomhtheacs scéal tharraingtigh. Beidh ceardlainne scealaíochta Cá bhfuil Lúlú? ag tarlú fríd seisiúin Stay & Play de chuid SureStart. Táthar ag dúil go mbeidh an áis seo tairbheach i ngach suíomh oideachais lán-Ghaeilge do pháistí sna luathbhlianta. Beidh cóip ar fáil ó leabharlann Altram. Rinne Trisha Deery na léaráidí daite bríomhara don áis seo. Lean an nasc seo le cóip a fheiceáil agus lean an nasc seo le cóip den leabhar amhrán a théann leis an áis a fheiceáil.
Altram has developed a new resource for the SureStart programme, a story called Cá bhfuil Lúlú?. It is a resource for practitioners which supports the development of emerging language skills among children within the SureStart Developmental Programme for 2-3 Year Olds. The book provides an opportunity to introduce and practise some key words and sentence patterns in Irish, within the context of an attractive story format. Cá bhfuil Lúlú? storytelling workshops will take place during SureStart Stay & Play sessions. It is hoped that this resource will be useful for all Irish-medium Early Years settings. It is available from the Altram library. Trisha Deery designed the colourful and lively illustrations for this resource.
