Scriobh Leabhar Competition 2025-2026

This competition is open to all primary schools, and for children at all levels in your school. The closing date for your expression of interest is Tuesday 30th of September.

 Scríobh Leabhar is a project sponsored by Clár na Leabhar Gaeilge. The project is organised in partnership with various education centres throughout Ireland. Scríobh Leabhar provides primary school students with the opportunity to write, design and publish their own books in Irish. It promotes the reading and writing of Irish amongst young children.

The children write, design and bind their own books under the direction of their teachers. The main focus of the project is the writing process itself. The project is very flexible, each child in the class can write their own book, or work together in groups, or the entire class can write a book.

Children have two options in relation to the type of book they wish to write. Their book can be handwritten or teachers may use relevant educational apps to help the children to write digital books if they wish. The Professional Development Service for Teachers have created a list of literacy apps as a support for primary schools. Each child who participates in Scríobh Leabhar receives a certificate and a prize.

Closing Date for Registration is Tuesday 30th of September 2025
