Ka katia e Te Tāhuhu o Te Mātauranga ngā kupu Māori, atu i ngā ingoa, i ngā pukapuka hou o te raupapa Ready to Read Phonics Plus i roto i te Marautanga o Aotearoa. Ko tētahi o ngā pukapuka ka tangohia e rātou, ko At the Marae. Ko tā te kaitito pukapuka, a Jen Smith, ehara i te reo Māori te aronga matua o tēnei rauemi, ā, he kupu māmā ēnei kupu e ono.

The Ministry of Education will cut Māori words, except for names, from any new books in the Ready to Read Phonics Plus series in the NZ curriculum. One of the books they will remove is At the Marae. According to the book’s author, Jen Smith, Māori language is not the main focus of this resource, and these are only six simple words.
