This download comes with two different books for you to choose from; symbols with words or just words.
I recommend laminating each page and binding together as a book. I would also recommend using velcro for symbols/words and the boxes on each page just so that the symbols/words don't move around when students place them on page but that is personal preference.
You will need to cut out the words/symbols individually and laminate them too, it can be time consuming but once made is a great, valuable resource to be kept for long term use.
