Using the April Fools’ Day books
- The word-only version uses a dotted font for the words so little ones can trace over the words for writing practice.
- The black and white versions are, of course, great for colouring in!
- There is space on the front page for kids to write their name.
- Ask children to try and fold the books themselves as they’ll need to focus and it’s great for fine motor skills.
- Read the books with the children, ask them to read to each other and read by themselves. Check that they understand the nuanced meaning behind some of the words, and whether they understand the tricks played in the sentence book.
