Te Huarere (The Weather) – Resource Pack

In this bilingual story, we follow a week of weather in Aotearoa. It’s raining in Auckland, windy in Wellington, cloudy in Taranaki, snowing in Wanaka and frosty in Wakatipu. Turn to the last page to see where the sun is shining every day of the week.

Simple sentence structures lead us through the days of the week, different kinds of weather and some local placenames.

This resource pack includes:

• A big book – for shared reading, with teachers’ notes that include user-friendly assessment rubrics and ideas for second language activities
• 30 small book versions of the story, for guided and independent reading.
• A set of flashcards featuring keywords from the story, for vocabulary recognition.
• Download link and USB Card containing:
  • Mini-book template of the story and illustrations, for students to take home and read with whānau.
  • Audio file and a digital file of the story, for the big screen.

NOTE: Because this is such an amazing deal, none of the books will be stickered to work with our Audio Reading Pen.
However, if you have one or more Reading Pens, you may request the stickers free of charge (plus shipping if ordering separately) to sticker the books yourself.
