About Playwrite Ireland

The NCAA publishes the national curriculum, and issues of language are dealt with in the “Primary Language Curriculum”, which was last published in 2019. This document is fully bilingual in English and Irish Gaelic. An additional guideline document for teachers called ”Primary Language Curriculum. Support Material for teachers. Writing”, is also published by the NCAA. This devotes a full section to handwriting and suggests that children can be introduced to cursive writing as early as the junior infant level.

In practice, however, each school can choose its own methods for teaching handwriting. Most teachers start with either print script (locally called “manuscript”) or precursive letters in junior and senior infant levels. From Class 1 onwards, students are taught to add exit strokes to letters and then connect them to achieve a cursive hand.
