Book Page Turners are simple adaptations that are added to the pages of books to make reading material more accessible to students that need support to turn the pages of a book independently. As students are manipulating reading materials, the teacher closely observes and notes any signs of difficulty turning pages (e.g., tearing pages, unable to locate desired page). The teacher then selects the most ideal Book Page Turner materials (e.g., sticky notes, paperclips, picture frame dots) to use for the given book and attaches them to each consecutive page, often in a staggered sequence from top to bottom. As Book Page Turners create space between pages, they make independently navigating literature more accessible for small children with developing hand muscles as well as students with emerging fine motor abilities.
