OUT THIS WEEK!
FIVE new Ready to Reads are headed to schools.
You'll find four great guided-reading titles, and one big book (plus a smaller version) for shared reading!
Teaching support material and audio will be on TKI shortly: bit.ly/2pIlF1W
Today in history: Women win the right to vote in New Zealand!
On the 19 September 1983 (125 years ago!) Kate Sheppard taught us that voting is important: "Do not think your single vote does not matter much. The rain that refreshes the parched ground is made up of single drops."
Teaching voting or equality? Read all about Kate in 'The Fight to Vote', School Journal Level 4 May 2017: bit.ly/2p1J6EC

We reckon there's a bit of confusion out there about the Ready to Read series, so we've put together a few words to clear a couple of things up. Hope it's helpful 😀

Thanks for the article, @TheSpinoffTV!
As you say, "If our kids are armed with the basics, then maybe there’s a chance they’ll grow into adults that understand that our differences make us stronger.” bit.ly/2vJthFf

Thank you all so much for your support for Te Tiriti o Waitangi. It would be great to see this taonga widely distributed, but for now it’s a resource just for schools. BUT! You can download a PDF version from bit.ly/2O5BKdp

Today in 1987 Te reo Māori was recognised as an official language. Tau kē tātou.
