Description

This resource provides hands-on activities to accompany the Ready to Read Phonics Plus Māhuri texts. The hands-on activities have been created to specifically match the focus sounds taught in each book.

With initial modelling and scaffolding, these activities are intended to be completed independently to build students’ skills in following instructions, fine motor skills and stamina to complete a task. The activities have been carefully designed to enhance the teaching that occurs in small group guided reading and to give independent practice to the focus sounds taught.
