What you’ll need
A 3-ring binder or a spiral binding machine
This PDF printed out
Optional: 2 tab dividers
Optional: Print some free worksheets from SuperEasyStorytelling.com, like the Awesome Adjectives List, Story Planning Worksheet, Describe your Character Worsheet and more!
How to assemble the book
- Print out all the pages and punch holes for a 3-ring binder (Note, if you have a spiral binder, it works better at keeping the flip pages secure. But if that’s not available, a 3-ring binder works well too.)
- Insert cover and instruction pages into the binder. Then insert the Tab divider if you are using one.
- Starting with the WHO/WHAT/WHY NOT pages, cut the pages along the dotted lines.
- Insert the stacks of papers so that the “WHO” cards are on top third of the binder, “WHAT” cards are in the middle,
and “WHY NOT” cards are on the bottom third of the binder. - If after use, the flip cards are askew, just turn the binder so the rings are at the top and the cards will fall back into place.
- Optional: Insert the second Tab divider and add the other worksheets you printed.
