Printing tips

  • Sheets are letter size (8.5 × 11 in). They also print fine on A4: choose “fit to page”.
  • Print in black and white to save ink. Only the counting sheet uses colour.
  • Read the book first. The worksheets use the same animals and island words.

Using these in class? Pair them with a read-aloud of the book. See our ideas for parents and teachers.
