Look at My Weaving - Level 3-5

Look at My Weaving introduces young readers to the craft of paper weaving through the voice of a child proudly showing their colourful creation. The book combines descriptive vocabulary with a clear sequence of actions, allowing children to follow along and understand how something is made. It includes high-frequency words, simple sentence structure, and phonics features such as onset and rime (e.g., bl/ack) and alliteration. The story encourages artistic expression and offers opportunities for hands-on integration of art with literacy. The colourful, patterned visuals in the book support decoding and aid prediction, while encouraging students to describe and create patterns of their own.
