What can we create with our hands? Let’s read, shape, cut, and weave!

This Making with Our Hands comprehension pack introduces young learners to creative traditions from around the world. With three carefully differentiated texts (Starter, Standard, Stretch), learners begin with early reading skills like retrieval and sequencing, then build toward vocabulary, inference, cause and effect, and author’s intent.
Across all levels, readers explore how people use natural and everyday materials such as clay, paper, string, and stone to shape, paint, fold, and decorate. They’ll discover that handmade things are often made for homes, given as gifts, or created just for fun. The texts highlight that making by hand takes time, care, and creativity, and that people everywhere take part in this kind of thoughtful work.

What’s included:

• 3 differentiated reading texts on the same topic
• Matching comprehension questions for each level
• Full answer key with skill tags
• Traffic light self-assessment
• Black-and-white, print-friendly format

From painted stones to folded paper, let your learners explore what it means to make something by hand!
