I saw simple and free printable reading materials for beginners. Then I thought it would be great to compile a notebook rather than just simply secure them with clips or a stapler. It looks much more presentable.

Supplies:

10 pcs long sized bondpaper
1/2 sized cardboard
scissors
glue
printed reading pages
transparent tape

Steps:

Stick one end of a bondpaper to another. Connect all bond papers together until a long straight line of bondpapers is created.

Estimate the size of your reading pages and fold the bondpaper in zigzag according on its size.

Make an accordion fold. It should look like this.
