How Can I Use It Again? Level 3-5

How Can I Use It Again? encourages young readers to think creatively about recycling and reusing everyday items instead of throwing them away. The story follows a boy who repurposes objects such as a can, box, bottle, and egg carton to make new, useful things like a money bank, plant pot, and pencil holder. Through its clear question-and-response structure and vibrant photographs, the book helps children understand the importance of reusing materials to protect the environment. Supporting vocabulary is embedded within the picture glossary, and targeted phonics features-initial blends like pl- and digraphs such as th-are reinforced throughout the text. Linked to the anchor book Helping Planet Earth, this book presents reusing as a fun and achievable activity for kids at home or in the classroom. Learning Media's expertly levelled resources support literacy development with evidence-based teaching practices that are trusted by educators across Australia and New Zealand.
