A layered book can be created with three sheets of 8 x 11 paper. A heavyweight paper will do better because you can print on both sides of the page.

1.

Place three sheets of paper on top of each other. Slide down each of the top two sheets so that they are one inch lower than the paper beneath.

2.

Flip over the bottom half of the 3-layered sheets, aligning the bottom edge with the existing top layers (at one inch intervals). When all layers are the same distance apart, crease well. This creates an eight-layered book.

3.

Finally, hold layers together by gluing or stapling the crease. You can also punch holes at the crease and tie yarn or a ribbon to hold the layers together.

Layered books can be used for many purposes. The student will draw appropriate pictures under each layer. Factual information can be placed inside each layer, with the other tab labeling the information contained within.
