Description

Do your students love the demi-god Māui? Learn more about him with these Māui Myths Lower Primary reading passages and questions. You’re welcome! This pack includes four Year Three and Four traditional literature myth passages with six engaging text-dependent, higher-order thinking tasks. These worksheets are great for your New Zealand reading program, as part of a reliever/substitute teacher pack, or as homework tasks. Suitable as an entry point to Polynesian mythology and history!
 
These link directly to the New Zealand Curriculum, Level Two, Listening, Reading and Viewing (see the Activity Information pages for more details on the exact skills found in each activity). The texts provided are purposely more involved than a basic text, and are designed to be read and explored on multiple occasions.
