Scots language web page for Ulster kids

Teachers (an parents too) might like to take notice of the online Ulster Scots for children located at the Ulster-Scots Agency website. Though the target audience of the pages is Ulster, there is much that would also interest Scots speakers in Scotland. The page – called ‘Ulster-Scots for Weans’- is well laid out with all manner of things for children to do. One can click on a word list of Scots which gives Scots words with English equivalents, and – this is a very good innovation – one can hear the audio files of the words too. This is very important for those who don’t usually read or write in Scots. Here, though, the web page is a little slow moving and requires the mouse to be clicked several times in order to move quickest. In addition to the word list there is a nice book of numbers that gives each number in a sentence, and also songs and poetry showing the Scots language in context. No doubt any parent would find this well worth a visit and teachers should welcome the guidance notes. In order to look in more detail please follow this link:
