Motsy802 Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Title says it all. I see people talking about their child using their lap book so I'm just wondering what these are, and how they work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TGHEALTHYMOM Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Youtube has alot of videos. The Ultimate Lapbook Handbook is also a good book to start with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lillybell Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 This link shows a picture of a lapbook. You usually use a file folder as the base and just attach sheets or stock paper to add space, then you can make mini books, pockets with cards, whatever you can think of. You add information based on what you are studying. They work as great study guides once complete. http://www.homeschoolinthewoods.com/HTTA/TTS/images/ColonialLifePhotos/LARGE-LapbookOpen.gif You can look at some at the link below. They come with instructions and some to print. http://www.homeschoolshare.com/levels.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saddlemomma Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 We tried lapbooks, but my dd wasn't too crazy about them. Right now I'm slowing introducing her to a new one: interactive notebooks. These are a little less involved, but I also like them a lot better. Here is a link to them: http://www.libertyhillhouse.com/2013/02/04/using-interactive-notebooks-homeschoo/ I'm using this method right now in Grammar. Each of the Grammar lessons with our book comes with a poster. I print out the poster, cut out the figures and let dd color them. Then she pastes them onto a piece of notebook paper and makes notes on the page detailing the grammar rules which apply to the poster. She seems to get more enjoyment out of this, and it helps her retain the rules better. I let her write the rules in colored pencils, pen, or marker. Then she can further decorate the page if she wishes. For her "Preposition" page, after coloring the poster figure, I had her write all the most common prepositions all around the page in different syles, vertically, horizonally, diagonally, whichever way she wanted as long as they were legible. She had fun with that page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susie in MS Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 We have started doing which ever lapbook components we like with our FIAR lessons. But instead of using a file folder we place them in 3 pronged, pocket folds. We use the pockets for some things and we place extra sheets in the prongs when we need more space for parts. Here is another example of a lapbook in a file folder. It has very good instructions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
