Tha goireas ùr aig clann ro-sgoile agus am pàrantan a tha a’ còmhnaidh sna h-Eileanan an Iar airson cuir ris na tha mu thràth de ghoireasan rim faighinn anns na cròileagain gus cuideachadh le bhith ag ionnsachadh a’ Ghàidhlig. Tha seo an-dèidh do CDs, air am bheil leabhraichean leughaidh chloinne, a bhith air am foillseachadh.
Thig taghadh de leabhraichean Gàidhlig chloinne beò mar sgeulachdan a chluinnear air an aithris airson a’ chiad uair, a’ leantainn iomairt com-pàirteachaidh eadar a’ bhuidheann leasachaidh Comunn na Gàidhlig agus a’ chompanaidh foillseachadh leabhraichean Gàidhlig Acair, le taic bho Chomann na Pàrant agus Comhairle nan Eilean Siar. Am measg na leabhraichean a nochdas air CDs tha leabhraichean ainmeil, tlachdmhor air am bheil a’ chlann measail mar, “An Gruffalo”, Am Fuamhaire Spaideil” agus taghadh bho leabhraichean “Maisy”.
Thuirt Iona Nic an t-Sagairt, Oifigear Fiosrachaidh Phàrantan aig Cnag, a bha a’ stiùireadh a’ phròiseict, “ Tha mi air leth toilichte gu bheil sinn air a ghoireas ùr seo fhoillseachadh. Tha mi cinnteach gum bi e gu buannachd gach cuid don chlann agus dom pàrantan. Se rud a th’ann a dh’fhaodas iad a thoirt a-mach air iasad agus obrachadh còmhla leis aig an taigh. Tha mi cinnteach gum bidh na Cds gu h-àraidh feumail do phàrantan a tha a’ cur an cuid chloinne tro fhoghlaim tro mheadhan na Gàidhlig airson a’ chiad uair agus a tha a’ tòiseachadh ag ionnsachadh a’ Ghàidhlig iad fhèin. Thairis air an dà bhliadhna a chaidh seachad, tha e air a bhith follaiseach dhomhsa gu bheil iarrtas ann airson a leithid a ghoireas agus tha e na adhbhar thoileachas a’ phròiseact a thoirt gu buil. Lean i oirre, “Tha e air a bhith na thoileachas a’ co-obrachadh le buidhnean agus daoine fa-leth eile air a’ phròiseact seo, agus tha mi fada nan comunn airson an ùine aca agus an taic. Tha mi an dòchas gum faigh sinn air tuilleadh co-obrachadh a dhèanamh air pròiseactan eil sna mìosan air thoiseach oirnn.”
Bidh CDs às ùr ann a-nis mar thaic airson deich de leabhraichean a th’air am foillseachadh le Acair agus a tha mu thràth rim faotainn sna Cròileagain air feadh na h-Eileanan an Iar. Bidh seo na ghoireas ionnsachaidh gach cuid sna h-ionadan ro-sgoile agus san dachaigh.
Thuirt Norma NicLeòid bho Acair, “Tha Acair air leth toilichte a bhith a’ co-obrachadh le CnaG gus taic a chuir ri clann agus am pàrantan a tha airson buannachdan foghlaim tro mheadhan na Gàidhlig a ghabhail..”
Children’s Gaelic Books now available on CD
Pre-school children and their parents living in the Western Isles have a wonderful new resource to add to the ever increasing resources now available within the Croileagain to help with learning Gaelic. This follows the launch of new CDs, containing a collection of children’s popular reading books.
A selection of Gaelic children's books will for the first time come alive as audio stories, following a new joint initiative between CnaG and Acair the Gaelic books publisher with support from Comann nam Pàrant and Comhairle nan Eilean Siar. Among the books that have been put on CD are popular classics such as 'An Gruffalo', 'Am Fuamhaire Spaideil' and a number of the 'Maisy' series.Iona Mactaggart, Gaelic Medium Education Information Officer with CnaG, who led the initiative said, “I'm delighted that we have been able to provide this new resource. I am certain that it will be of huge benefit both to the children and their parents. It is something they can borrow and take home and work with together. I am sure that the CDs will be especially beneficial to parents starting their children off in GMU, and who may just be starting to learn the language themselves. Over the past couple of years I have been inundated with requests for such a resource and it is now very satisfying to see the end product.” She added, “It has been a good experience working with other organisations and individuals, and I'm really grateful to all who were involved for their time and support. I am hoping that we can work together on other projects in the months to come.”
Ten books published by Acair and already available in the Croileagain collections, will now have a CD supporting visual and audio Gaelic learning, in pre-school provision and in the home.
Norma Macleod from Acair said, “Acair is delighted to be involved in this joint initiative with CnaG for children and parents wishing to enjoy the benefits of Gaelic education.”

Tha, agus bha àite air leth aig Glaschu ann an saoghal na Gàidhlig, agus bidh aire an t-saoghail air baile mòr nan Gàidheal. Tha cothroman mòra an luib nan Geamaichean do Ghlaschu agus dhan Ghàidhlig, le na th’ann de dhaoine a tha ga cleachdadh agus bu chòir dhuinn an cothrom a ghabhail inbhe agus aithne na Gàidhlig àrdachadh ann an suidheachadh eadar-nàiseanta. Tha sinn an dòchas nach eil an seo ach toiseach-tòiseachaidh. Tha sinn a’ guidhe gach soirbheachaidh do na Geamaichean agus tha fiughar againn a bhith ag obair còmhla ri sgioba Ghlaschu 2014 gu dlùth airson inbhe na Gàidhlig a thogail agus a chleachdadh mar as còir ann an leithid de shuidheachadh.”
BÒRD NA GÀIDHLIG WELCOMES GAELIC VERSION OF THE GLASGOW 2014 IDENTITY
Bòrd na Gàidhlig, the principal public body promoting and developing Gaelic, has welcomed the announcement by the Organising Committee for the 2014 Commonwealth Games that it is to use a Gaelic version of the official logo for the Games. This is the first time permission for such a development of the brand has been granted.

Given the unique importance of Gaelic to Scotland and the many Scots in the diaspora throughout the Commonwealth, we believe it should be seen, heard and spoken as widely as possible. Given the worldwide interest there will be in the Games when they take place in Glasgow, a city with a large number of Gaelic speakers, we believe they offer an exciting opportunity for Gaelic to be seen and, we hope, heard and appreciated in an international setting. We hope this is just the start; we wish the Games well and look forward to working further with Glaschu 2014 to enhance the status of Gaelic within this hugely significant event.
