Page Turners To make books easier for children to manipulate, adaptations can be made for page turning. Page fluffers can be made by putting a large dot of hot glue in the upper right hand corner of the page. Another adaptation can be made with velcro for page turning. Attach a small piece of velcro about mid-way down the page on the far right side. Small ponytail holders can be glued to the movable part of a book that has pop-up features.
Children can then pull the holder to enjoy the pop-up part of the book.
Since language development is an important part of early literacy acquisition, activities can be designed around software to encourage communication for children with disabilities. Communication displays can be used beneficially with all children. Figures from commercial software or customized programs can be printed and used on a board, book or apron for communication activities. Figures can be laminated and velcro attached to the back so that children can play with them and attach them to a board covered with special velcro-sensitive material. An apron or vest can be made out of the same material so that figures can be attached easily.
