Pink Fairy Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 If you've signed up for this, have you found it's worth the cost? $40 seems like a good deal to me, but I'd like to know more before I take the plunge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelly in VA Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 I LOVE my membership. I balked at the cost for a long time, but finally decided to try it, and I am glad that I did. There is a free lapbook each month, and sometimes there will be two freebies. There are extensions available on many of the units, and there are periodically members only sales that I have taken advantage of. We have done many more lapbooks than we would without the membership. If you and your kids enjoy lapbooking, I'd recommend it, at least for one year. HTH!

paula j Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 I felt it was well worth the cost! We got 1 or 2 free lapbooks a month, a free extra one as a birthday gift, other freebies like notebook pages and extensions. I love the extensions! We did a civil war lapbook and I printed out the slavery extension and it added alot of depth. It included, extra mini books, poetry, copywork, reading suggestions, Bible study, and a trivial pursuit type game. They also offer specials and contests from time to time, I even won an extra 6 months on my membership!:001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a good deal if you and your dc are sure you really like to make lapbooks. One of my dc refuses to make the preprinted lapbooks (where the covers have designs and you put your own content in) but doesn't really want to take the time to come up with her own ideas on what to do... the other struggles with trying to be patient enough to work on them ("Here Mom, you do it for me!"). So for us, it ended up not being money well spent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julie in MO Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Do you get to choose the lapbooks each month - are they themed, or just blank and ready to use? Julie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osaubi Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Do you get to choose the lapbooks each month - are they themed, or just blank and ready to use?Julie You do not get to choose what lapbook is free each month. The entire lapbook that is free could be anything on any subject. Sometimes you have to write in the books, and sometimes they offer fill it in. The fill it in are where you can fill in the blanks on the computer before you print it off. I did pay for a super membership, and it is a good deal if you have older kids. Most of the super membership lapbooks are for grades 3 and up. I didn't want to adjust the lapbooks for younger ages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leslie in TN Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 I totally agree that the Super Membership is well worth the cost, especially if you consider that many of the larger lapbooks from HOAC are around $20. Getting 12-18 per year for $40 is a steal! Also, HOAC is having a 35% off sale right now.. I'm pretty sure you can apply that discount to a membership, which would make your savings even greater! Lastly, if it might help with your decisions, here are the list of freebies this year: Super Member Units 2008 Jan: Explorers Feb: Oceans/Oceans PreK Mar: Simple Machines Apr: Colonial Life May: Light June: Animal Life Cycles July: Earthquakes Aug: Animals of the Rainforest Sep: Industrial Revolution Oct: Native Americans Nov: Immigration Dec: Louisiana Purchase HTH a little! :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pink Fairy Posted April 22, 2008 Author Share Posted April 22, 2008 Neat--I didn't know there was a list to see what you would be getting! I'm glad I asked, because it sounds like the Super Membership would be a good fit for me. Thank you all for your replies! :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tina in WA Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Didn't see if this was mentioned yet, but the freebies for super members are ones that are not released to the general public yet either. It is like a special bonus/extra for those that are super members. :) I LOVE my super membership! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
