This month, Te Wiki o te Reo Māori runs from Hepetema (September) 11-17. It's a great time of year to continue your te reo Māori journey with our Te Reo Kete. 

The purpose of the kete is for adults to launch their te reo learning journey, with the option of sharing this experience with their whānau too. Each kete contains ten books plus a card game: five books to help you develop your grammar and vocabulary, two books to familiarise yourself with tikanga, and three kids books to practise all you’ve learned.
