book: Activity

Making
a folded book
Using
this folding book is an excellent method for the children to evaluate
the books that they have made. The text can be deleted and given to the
children to write in. The book could be a close procedure, have illustrations
with speech bubbles for the children to fill in or it could be left blank
so that they can make up their own text.
Follow the instructions and
use the pictures to help you.
