If cutting up is not convenient at any point in time, materials like Reading Strips or Sentence Pyramids can be used in its complete format without losing their educational value.

To make each page reusable:

Laminate them! This increases durability and makes them valuable resources for literacy centres or class reading slots.

Covered Skills:
