Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Classroom Considerations

  • The instructions mention a send-home letter and a second mini-book that are not included; only the sample back-to-school book is provided

Pros

  • Each page includes a sentence frame for kids to fill in
  • Plenty of space is provided for learners' illustrations
  • Includes clear instructions for how to introduce and assemble the book

Cons

  • The cover page and border images are a bit grainy; however, once colored in and paired with student illustrations, this will not matter as much
