Key Points to Note:

  • These books have been designed to support all teachers in English-medium settings and schools to strengthen their learning and use of te reo Māori as an everyday language of instruction. 
  • Te reo Māori competence is a professional responsibility of all teachers across all sectors in Aotearoa New Zealand.
  • The resources contain ngā huinga reo –vocabulary lists and ngā rerenga - sentence structures for Levels 1 to 3 of Te Aho Arataki Marau (Ministry of Education, 2009), the recommended teaching and learning te reo Māori curriculum.
  • Integral to each pukapuka is a te reo Māori learning plan that supports teachers to navigate each of the 17 pukapuka, adding to their own te reo Māori pātaka (repertoire of te reo words and phrases) for implementation as a daily language of instruction.
  • These resources are also a valuable tool for parents and grandparents to learn te reo Māori alongside of their tamariki (children) and mokopuna (grandchildren).
