I give these out at the end of the previous year so they come back coloured, attached to scrapbooks and covered in contact (hopefully!) BUT can also be done at the start of the year either in class or send them home, can be colour coded to help children find their books. Also helpful for early readers 'Get your book with abc on it for Spelling' or the Pink cover... Just adapt by changing school name and you may/may not have Italian and Religion. Enjoy!
