This document provides guidelines for creating self-learning kits (SLKs) according to the standards set by the Department of Education in Tarlac Province, Philippines. It specifies the formatting for various sections, including a 12-page limit, 1-inch margins, font styles, and page numbering. The cover page should include the title, subject area, grade level, violator text, logos, and a standardized cover art. Inside pages specify formatting for sections like preface, objectives, content, activities, and directory. Formatting considerations like font sizes, headers, callouts, and pagination are described to create attractive, readable, and properly structured SLKs.
