How to print and prepare the letter b emergent reader book
First, grab your download from lower down in the post. Next, print the pages you want. You don’t have to include every page if they don’t meet your child’s current needs. If you want to laminate the pages to make a flip book, laminate before cutting. I laminated our copy of the printable spring counting book and made it into a reusable coloring book with binder rings and Stabilo Woody colored pencils. Cut out the pages. A paper trimmer or paper cutter is fastest, but scissors can work, too. Make sure to cut around the entire outer rectangle, not just the inner decorative box. There is a margin on the left-hand side of each page for stapling or hole punching. The photo below shows the letter a book printable. For a reusable book, hole punch laminated pages and insert binder rings, as shown below with the spring counting book. I just punch two holes - it isn’t necessary to do three holes and rings for such a small book. Stabilo Woody 3-in-1 colored pencils are fantastic for coloring on laminated pages. Unlike markers, they don’t erase themselves when colored over. They clean up easily and don’t dry out like dry erase markers. They’re amazing. You can see these colored pencils in action with a video clip in this post with free printable dinosaur coloring pages. Give the letter b book to your little learner and enjoy! There are many ways to use this printable letter b book. Here are a few ideas:
