Kaupapa:
Reo-ā-waha (Oral language)
He aha ai? why?
An analysis of data from 2019 showed our students who identify as Māori were achieving at
a different rate to our students.
The interrogation of this data led us to conclude that Oral Language confidence and
competence is a critical aspect of student learning regardless of the curriculum area.
Oral language is one of the foundations of early literacy. Having skills in listening,
talking, viewing, drawing and critiquing are all important precursors to developing
skills in reading and writing. Oral language is needed to negotiate social situations,
create meaning of the world around them, and access the curriculum.
