Print the individual pages (single-sided) for each book, then bind them together (for example by stapling, using treasury tags or comb-binding).

To make the pages more durable for repeated use, you may want to purchase a home-laminating machine so you can encapsulate them.

These are the 9 books used in the first three See and Learn First Written Words activities to introduce the words and two 'key' word phrases.
