I tēnei tuhinga ka matapakihia te āhuatanga o ngā
rauemi reo Māori, arā te rahi me te kounga o aua
rauemi hei āwhina i nga kaiako me ngā tauira reo
Māori. Kātahi ka whakamāramahia te anga mō Toi te
Kupu kua whakawhānakehia hei whakarārangi, hei
whakamārama hoki i ngā rauemi reo Māori. Mā Toi
te Kupu e whakaemi ngā rauemi ki te pātengi raraunga
kotahi, kia taea ai e te kaiako me te tauira te rapu i
ngā rauemi e hiahia ana ia. Mā tēnei ka kite tātou i
ngā wāhanga o ngā rauemi e hapa ana, pēnei i te kōeke,
te kaupapa me te momo rauemi. Ka matapakihia te
pūtake mō ngā āhuatanga o ngā rauemi reo Māori ki
tēnei anga.

This paper discusses the dearth of Māori language
resource materials available to teachers and learners
of the Māori language and outlines the Toi te Kupu
framework that has been developed to catalogue and
describe Māori language resource materials. The Toi
te Kupu framework provides co-ordination and greater
utilisation of these resources and it will identify the
gaps in the range of levels, mediums, contexts and
themes. The paper also discusses the rationale for the
inclusion of the main characteristics on the framework.
