Making a reusable route card

An original fictional set of instructions for reading practice.

Start by tracing the route on scrap paper. Use the same symbols that walkers will see on the signposts. Check the sketch against the written directions before you prepare a final copy; correcting the rough version is easier than replacing a finished card.

When the route has been checked, transfer it to the waterproof card. Keep the writing away from the edge so that the protective sleeve will not hide a direction. After making the final copy, punch a hole through the marked corner. The mark has been placed outside the printed area.

Finally, thread the cord through the hole and secure it with a knot. Do not add the cord before punching the hole or try to make the hole with a pointed pencil. A card with a torn corner should be replaced.

Number the actions A–D in the order in which they should be completed, using positions 1–4. One position has been given. Write the three missing action letters and their positions.

• A: Thread the cord through the hole. Position: ____
• B: Trace and check the rough route. Position: ____
• C: Punch the marked corner hole. Position: 3 (given)
• D: Transfer the route to waterproof card. Position: ____
