Te Reo Māori Reading Pen Kit

blog Date published 2 7 2024 , Age 5 months ago

If you're learning te reo Māori you might be interested in our Arahia: a bilingual rainbow reading kit written by Alice Patrick.

Arahia Instagram Sqr 1080x1080px — Access the Library database to find your copy by clicking the image.

This kit is specially designed for ākonga (students) and contains six books, activities for the whole Arahia series on a USB card, and a reading pen that reads all of the Te Reo Māori and English words aloud.

Simply wave the pen over the words and the words are pronounced for you to copy and practice. Record your pronunciation so you can hear how well you are progressing.

Both Marlborough and Nelson campus Libraries have a copy held behind the Library Helpdesk. Come and see us to get it issued.

You'll find related Māori language resources on the shelves in the 499.442 area of the Library collection. Come and see us if you like us to show you where to go.

And our Bridget Williams Collection of eBooks(external link) is a large collection of some of New Zealand’s finest non-fiction eBooks for reading, research and education on topics such as The Treaty of Waitangi, history, etc. We also have a selection of Databases and websites by Programme Area: Māori(external link) on our Library website.
