NUMBERED PAGES:
- If you imagine a 'real' book for a second, you know that each page
has printing on the front and the back. We're going to fold
the pages to make it like a real book.
- Ignore the cover for now.
- Fold each page along the center dotted line so the images are
on the OUTSIDE and the blank sides of the paper are on the
inside (imagine you're making a greeting card).
- You can use a glue stick, if you like, to glue the pages
together (WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE COVER!)
- Stack the pages, so the odd numbers are on top and the folded
edges are lined up. Trim with scissors or cutting board if
needed.
COVER PAGE:
- Fold the cover page along the dotted line, again with the images
on the outside.
- OPTIONAL: You can laminate the cover page or print it on
cardstock if you want it to be more like a real book's cover.
ASSEMBLE THE BOOK:
- Open the cover page (like a folder) and slip the pages inside so
that when you open the cover you'll see page 1 -- the unfolded sides
of the pages will go against the folded part of the
cover.
- Close the cover page and tap the book so everything lines up.
- Put three or four staples along the edge to hold the book
together.
- Flip through the book once, carefully folding the pages to make
the book easier for the children to read
PRINTING THE TEMPLATES
- Close the template window after printing to return to this screen.
- Set page margins to zero if you have trouble fitting the template on one page (FILE,
PAGE SETUP or FILE, PRINTER SETUP in most browsers).
- There'll be less trimming to do if you also turn off the headers
and footers.
