Pages 3-11 : Interactive Book The interactive book will be 8 pages in total once assembled. The first page includes the laundry scene and items to move and use with the scene. The next 7 pages target a variety of goals that are interactive (coloring, circling, writing, and connecting answers).

Pages 12-13: Following Directions For the teacher or parent to read while the child follows the direction using the interactive book. Includes: Vocabulary, Object Function, Prepositions, & Sequential directions

Pages 14-15: Black & white version of the laundry scene and items Use in assembling the interactive book instead of the color version as an ink saving option.

How to assemble the interactive book: I find it best to print the interactive book pages on card stock and laminate.

1. Print pages 3, 5-11 and laminate. 2. Print page 4, cut closely around each picture, and laminate. 3. You may use adhesive putty or velcro to move and attach the pictures to the scenes. Velcro is sturdier, although putty allows freedom of placement, otherwise you will need to put velcro spots within each scene which will limit the areas the items can be placed. 4. Place the cut-out pictures onto their respective bases (with putty or velcro) on the laundry scene page (pg 3). 5. Place pages 5-11 behind the laundry scene. 6. Bind your book by hole-punching 3 sets of holes along the left border. 7. Use a white board marker to complete the activities on pages 5-11.
