Pānui kia mōhio ki te reo o te ao torotoro
This standard asks you to read Māori texts about exploratory topics (covering both familiar and less familiar contexts) and understand them at different depths. Depending on your level, you need to follow the main idea of the text, understand its deeper meaning, or grasp all the fine details plus why it was written. The assessment is an external written exam where you answer questions in Māori to show your reading comprehension.
You show basic understanding of the text's main idea, attempt all parts of the questions, and provide some supporting evidence from the text.
You demonstrate clear understanding of what the text means, give detailed responses with multiple supporting examples from the text, and attempt all questions thoroughly.
You show comprehensive understanding of all the fine details, explain the meaning and purpose of the text clearly, provide well-developed responses with strong supporting evidence, and include personal reflections linked back to the text.
Standards typically taken alongside or after this one. Same subject, grouped by level.
