w88 slot

By: Marty Elquist

w88 slot are simple adaptations made to books or other reading material that make pages more accessible to turn. A "fluffer" is glued, taped, or clipped to the corner of each page. The "fluffer" puts spaces between each page allowing those with limited fine motor skills to get their fingers between each page. Pages fluffers are helpful in fostering independent literacy skills.

w88 slot are placed on the top of the first page, a little bit lower on the second page, lower on the third page and so on. When you reach the bottom of the page you start over at the top of the next page.

Permanent w88 slot:

  • Female Velcro (peel and stick).
  • Rubber weather stripping with adhesive back (peel and stick)

  • Beads of fun foam (dried)
  • Beads of puff paint (dried)
  • Foam of any type (hot w88 slot)
  • Packaging peanuts (hot w88 slot)
  • Popsicle sticks (or other study material) to the pages so one end sticks out beyond the pages like tabs (hot w88 slot)
  • Furniture protectors (peel and stick)
  • Bottle caps or film canister caps (hot w88 slot)

Removable w88 slot:

  1. Clip a paper clip on a small piece (1" x 1") of tag board or card stock (something sturdy).
  2. Glue a fluffer (foam, felt, any of the "permanent" w88 slot fluffer items) to one side of the tag board.
