Secondary books and teacher notes

These books were originally written for Māori-medium settings. The teacher notes have been designed to support the use of the books in English-medium schools. They provide ideas about how these books might be used in a classroom context, but there will also be other ways you can use them in your reo Māori programme. The teacher notes are designed for levels 5 and 6 of Te Aho Arataki Marau mō te Ako i Te Reo Māori – Kura Auraki.  Order copies from Down the back of the chair.
