Transform It! Level 19-20

Transform It! highlights the power of recycling and shows how everyday items like cans, bottles, and paper can be repurposed into useful new products. Linked to Helping Planet Earth, this book uses bright images, flowcharts, and clear headings to help readers follow the journey from rubbish to recycled material. It introduces procedural language, compound words, and consonant blends, which enhance literacy and comprehension.
