Place the core vocabulary board at the beginning of the book.
For stages 3, 4 or 5, do not forget to add the ‘flap’ down section.
Print 16 core vocabulary boards and one emotion board flap.
Insert the core vocabulary board on the left side of every page (including the index page which will have the emotions flap if using stages 3-5).
If using core vocabulary boards stages 1 and 2 there is no flap down section .
Cut tabs.
Fold tabs.
Insert tabs using clear cellotape.
If the tabs are placed correctly, you should be able to hold a tab and turn the page to the corresponding section.
You can personalise the front page by adding a picture and name of the child the book belongs to.
