Paper Patchwork Level 9-11

Paper Patchwork is a step-by-step procedural text that teaches students how to create colourful paper patchwork squares and assemble them into a larger quilt. This engaging instructional book introduces blends such as œgl, œsc, œpl, and œsq, while also weaving in mathematical concepts like shape identification, measuring, and sequencing. With clear directions and a strong imperative verb structure, students are guided through the process in a logical and accessible format. The book also promotes the use of nouns for one-to-one matching and includes high-frequency words to support fluency. This resource is ideal for combining literacy with hands-on learning in art and mathematics. It fosters skills in following instructions, writing procedural texts, and recognising visual and written cues for successful task completion.
