Panui e hoa - Read with our friends!

Today we started to learn the skills we will need for our Panui e hoa reading programme! 

We looked at:

  • How to greet our buddy - with a smile, hug, handshake! 


  • How to introduce the book and ask questions about what the story might be about. 



We found a partner and role played this part of the programme.  We found out that it is important to have humour, use patience and ask questions.  Giving hints and lots of compliments are also vital! 

Tomorrow we learn how to ask questions and what are good questions to ask.  We will practice giving compliments!  This is looking like a fun way to get into reading!

  2. Yes we are enjoying this programme! Some of our compliments were:
    "I like how you sounded the word out"
    "You used great expression in your reading"
    "You look nice today, your earrings look like Matariki stars"
    There are many more! We are really being specific!
