Fuaim-U Android App

November 6, 2013

Fuaim-U is an Irish phonics game that follows a phonic programme for children learning to read and spell in Irish. Fuaim-U begins with basic CVC words and progresses to longer words, multisyllabic words, words with aspiration and lenition, broad and slender words and then the variations of spelling for the long vowel sounds.

All the words are in standard Irish but focus on Ulster Irish and the correlation between Ulster pronunciation and standard spelling. Obviously most of the games are applicable to all dialects and some to Ulster Irish only. The other two main dialects will follow.

The App is available to buy from Google Play (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cogg.fonicfuaim&hl=en)
