Ka kuhu te whānau ki te whare pukapuka, ehara i te mea me mōhio kē te tamaiti ki te pānui. Ka āhei ia ki te tiro pikitia, ki te whakarongo, ki te pātai, ki te hoki anō ki taua pukapuka kotahi. Mā te auau, ka noho te reo hei hoa, kaua hei whakamātautau.
Ko te mahi nui a te pakeke ehara i te whakamārama i ia kupu. Ko te noho tata, te whai i te hiahia o te tamaiti me te whakaatu he wāhi pai te pukapuka mō te ngahau me te uiui.
Tukua te tamaiti kia kōwhiri
Ahakoa he māmā rawa, he pukapuka anō rānei kua pānuihia, he mana tō te kōwhiringa. Mā te hiahia ka roa ake te aro.
Tirohia te uhi me ngā pikitia
Pātai atu: Ko wai kei konei? Ka aha pea? Kaua e hoatu wawe te whakautu; waiho he wā mō te whakaaro.
Pānuihia me te reo māori
Whakamahia te tere pai, ngā oro me ngā wā whakatā. Kāore he take kia whakaari nui mēnā kāore i te hāngai ki te tamaiti.
Kimihia ngā pukapuka reo Māori
Pātai ki te kaitiaki pukapuka mō ngā taumata, ngā kaupapa me ngā rauemi oro. Ka āhei hoki te whānau ki te ako tahi.
Kaua e whakatika i ia hē
Mēnā ka mau tonu te tikanga o te kōrero, tukuna kia rere. Ka taea te whakahoki tika i te rerenga me te kore whakama.
Hangaia he tikanga auau
Kotahi haerenga poto ia wiki ka māmā ake i tētahi haerenga nui, onge hoki. Whakahokia ngā pukapuka i te wā tika.
Kawea te kōrero ki te kāinga
Tuhia he kupu hou, tunua he kai o roto i te pūrākau, rapua rānei tētahi wāhi i kōrerotia.
He whare mō te katoa
He wāhi mahana, he ipurangi, he kaupapa me ngā tāngata āwhina kei te whare pukapuka. Mā te hoki, ka tipu te mōhio o te whānau he taonga tūmatanui tēnei nō rātou anō.
