Page fluffers are helpful in fostering independent literacy skills. Page fluffers are simple adaptations made to books or other reading material that make pages more accessible to turn. Page fluffers increase the space between the pages of a book, allowing those with
limited fine motor skills to get their fingers between each page therefore making it easier to turn a page. You can use a variety of different materials to make page fluffers. A fluffer can be glued, taped, or clipped to the corner of each page.
