 * What is a Poof Book?**

=
A poof book, also known as a stapleless book, is an organizer made from paper, by the students, that can be used for many different classroom purposes. After folding the book, there are eight pages available for the student to use. Students and teachers can use this organizer for taking notes, making picture books, collecting facts, or creating vocabulary booklets.====== This is a SDAIE strategy because it allows for space to draw pictures which facilitates understanding for ELL students.
