Materials Needed
You don't need much to print your own letter W book:
- Printable PDF (download information is lower down in the post. Look for the row of purple arrows.)
- Paper and a printer
- Paper trimmer/cutter or scissors
- Stapler
- Any full sized stapler should work
- You can also use binder rings to make a flip book
- Binder clips or quilting clips work, too. I used quilting clips for this particular book when I made it for my daughter becuase my staples were still packed, too.
How to print and prepare the letter W emergent reader book
First, grab your download from lower down in the post. Look for the row of purple arrows pointing the way.
Next, print the pages you want. You don't have to use every sheet - you can make the book simpler/shorter for younger children.
Cut out the pages. A paper trimmer or paper cutter is fast and accurate, but you can use scissors if you need to.
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 rectangles should line up across all the pages so you can cut multiple sheets at the same time with a powered paper cutter or guillotine-style paper cutter. The book shown below is this letter D book.
Staple the pages or hole punch to make a flip book with binder rings. Any full sized stapler should work fine, but a mini stapler probably won't make it through all ten sheets. The letter a book is shown below (my stapler was also buried in a moving box when I wrote this post.) Pre-folding the pages along the left edge of the decorative rectangle is helpful, but not absolutely necessary.
Now your book is ready for your little learner to enjoy! There are many ways to use this printable letter W book. Here are a few ideas to get you started:
- Have your child trace the letter formation graphics with a finger, then with a crayon or pencil.
- Make the letter W find page reusable by having your child cover each appropriate letter with a manipulative instead of circling or dotting the letter.
- Read the book aloud to reinforce letter w vocabulary.
- You may want to point to each word to reinforce left to right reading order and promote sight word recognition.
- Have your child work on independent reading with this simple reader.
- Let your child color the pages.
