Te Ara-Ripeka Rangihuna

Tēnā koutou katoa,
Ko Te Ara-Ripeka Rangihuna ahau, he Ngāti Porou, he Ngāti Kahungunu, he Ngāti Tūwharetoa.
I am a Māmā of two with a passion for te reo Māori me ngā tikanga. 
He mihi tēnei karakia ki a koutou o The Reading Revolution mō ā koutou mahi mīharo.
This karakia is a koha for all the awesome mahi by The Reading Revolution, I think it’s such an amazing kaupapa and hope that this kaupapa stays forever and a day. The karakia can be used to start and finish your reading kaupapa.
 
Keep up the amazing work <3

Be real and permanent
Bind and affirm
Join and unite

  1. Hi I’d love to attend but unfortunately I’ll be out of town and staying where I know I can’t get an internet connection. Hopefully you might run another session before Christmas!
    Cheers

  2. I want to say a huge thank you to you and Reading Revolution for the wonderful Karakia that has been gifted by Te Ara-Ripeka Rangihuna. It is truly awesome and what a gift!
    We started our Shared Reading session using the Karakia, read first in Te Reo by Jocelyn Goodman and then I read it in English. Everyone in the group commented on the beautiful language and we will use it each session from now on.
    I will have to play the video many many times until I feel some fluency of the Karakia in Te Reo, but a goal that will be achieved.
    Ngā mihi nui
    Margaret
