The Niue storybooks

Teacher support materials accompany the six storybooks developed especially to support the Learning Languages Series resource Haia! An Introduction to Vagahau Niue.

Each story gives students opportunities to extend their language and cultural knowledge and to practise reading the target language of specific units in Haia!
These teacher support materials suggest how teachers can use the six storybooks to foster vagahau Niue learning at levels 1 and 2, particularly in the context of the Haia! programme.

Schools, ECE centres and education providers can order the set of six storybooks from  Down the back of the chair. Enter item number MOE11625 into their search box.
