Cúrsa comhtháite, taitneamhach, páistelárnach le haghaidh múineadh na Gaeilge atá i Séideán Sí, cúrsa a chuideoidh le forbairt teanga, chognaíoch, mhothúchánach agus shamhlaíoch an pháiste. Is ar an bpáiste féin, ar na riachtanais teanga atá aige/aici agus ar a c(h)uid ábhar spéise atá an phríomhbhéim. Ar scoileanna Gaeltachta agus ar scoileanna lán-Ghaeilge atá an cúrsa dírithe go príomha ach tá sé oiriúnach, leis, do scoileanna eile. Tagann an cúrsa Séideán Sí leis an gcur chuige atá leagtha síos in Curaclam na Bunscoile – Gaeilge (1999). Tá sé bunaithe ar an gcur chuige cumarsáideach agus déantar comhtháthú ann ar an gceithre scil:
éisteacht
labhairt
léitheoireacht
scríbhneoireacht
Foireann dearthóirí curaclaim a bhfuil taithí fada teagaisc acu i scoileanna Gaeltachta agus i scoileanna lán-Ghaeilge agus atá ar iasacht óna gcuid scoileanna atá ag scríobh an ábhair. Comhthionscadalé Séideán Sí idir an Roinn Oideachais agus Eolaíochta agus Foras na Gaeilge. Tá an scéim á stiúradh ag Ionad Oideachais Dhún na nGall.
An integrated, enjoyable and child-centred course for the teaching of Irish which aims to develop the language, cognitive, emotional and creative skills of the child. Main emphasis is placed on the child and on his/her language requirements and particular interests.

listening
speaking
reading
writing
