Niky Clegg from Ōwhiro Bay School in Wellington has kindly shared this website she has created.
The website contains Level 2 texts that can be used for Partner Reading / Paragraph Shrinking.

(Niky has mentioned that there may be some mistakes in the audio and is fixing them as she finds them. If you find one please email her and she will correct it niky@owhiro.school.nz)
