Arahia Books

Arahia Books aim to create resource packs with bilingual books that are user-friendly for teachers and parents, and engaging for tamariki. These books will also help teachers to meet the requirements of PTC 10 – working in a bicultural context, by incorporating Māori language and tikanga. And they contribute to one of the Ministry of Education’s four national priorities – te reo matatini i.e. reading, writing and speaking.

Arahia Books align with the achievement objectives in the Māori language curriculum guidelines (http://tereoMaori.tki.org.nz/Curriculum-guidelines). The books are also based on the kaupapa in the associated multimedia resource He Reo Tupu, He Reo Ora (http://hereoora.tki.org.nz).
