Using Notebooking Pages In Every Area Of Your Homeschool

We have been notebooking in our homeschool for as long as I can remember.

Notebooking allows my children to have a scrapbook of their learning. It allows them to express themselves through writing, drawing, cutting and pasting, and more. 

Notebooking can also be done across ALL areas of your homeschool. We have notebooked our way through history, science, and music - with sprinklings of Bible copywork, math notebooking, and notebooking with literature.

My FAVORITE resource in this area is Notebooking Pages.

Don't you love the image above?

We have been notebooking all about birds for the past couple weeks. With my Notebooking Pages Lifetime Membership I have complete access to HUNDREDS of notebooking pages. This Birds Set  includes 55 notebooking pages with primary and regular lines in a variety of layouts.

 PERFECT.

Our Favorite Features of Notebooking Pages 

Ease of Use 

The website itself is very easy to use. When I log into my account, I simply go to "member download area" and can browse all of the notebooking pages. I then click on exactly what I want and the pages are downloaded in a .pdf file to my computer. Super simple. 

Customizable

Using the Publisher App I can create pages for anything I want - literally. In the picture below we were working in Story of the World. I wanted to created a page showing Peru. I could grab a premade page of South America from the site, and then add the text "Secret of the Andes" and the arrow to the map. We put this in our notebooks.

I also wanted to make a sheet about llamas. Using one of the many templates in the Publisher App I created one in just a few minutes. 

Added to the notebook was also a Middle Ages notebooking page (which is part of a set offered on the site). 

I created a completely customized notebooking set for one specific chapter in our history text. 

Variety

As I have mentioned, you can find just about anything on Notebooking Pages, from blank templates, to subject specific pages. My favorites include:

• Bible
• Geography
• Famous Musicians
• History
• Holidays (arranged by month - very nice!)
• Nature Study
• Science 

Custom Copywork Pages

I love that one of the new features in the Web App is custom copywork pages. 

Notebooking Pages has put together a nice video about this feature. Watch how easy it is to make a beautiful page of copywork. 

Notebooking Pages is my one-stop shop for notebooking. It is a resource we use DAILY. No more hunting for notebooking pages all over the internet.  It is all in ONE PLACE.  I love that.

*I was given a membership to Notebooking Pages in exchange for this review. I have, however, been a LONG time user and fan of notebooking pages (as evidenced by so many of my blog posts!).

We did a bit of notebooking in science and history this year. Looking forward to doing more in 2nd grade.

[Kandi]

We have done lapbooks and nature journals in the past. This looks like a fun way to add new stuff. Thanks!

[Amy]

I have never heard of notebooking and I love the idea!!!

[Tammy]

We have not used notebooking pages yet, but I am excited about the possibilities! Handwriting practice along with so many other things!

[Jaime Hodges]

We use notebooking with History and Science!

[barb]

Some of history.

[Tina F.]

Notebooking pages are a great "get in the car and drive" homeschooling tool.

[Becca]

We are starting to use notebooking pages, and so far have used them for history.

[Jasmine N.]

That site looks great! Thanks for the chance to win a membership.

[Ann-Marie]

This would be a lovelyl resource for my little man to begin this summer. I have been thinking of notebooking for some time now.

[Michele Rezewski]

I am new to homeschooling. I will begin teaching my son Kindergarten in the fall. I have not heard of notebooking before, but it looks like a great tool. Would love to try it!!!!

[Jenny]

We use notebooking pages for history and science - it is my favorite way to chronicle our learning.

[Marie Englehart]

We mostly use notebooks for science and history. Currently for Zoology 1: Flying Creatures and SOTW Volumes 1 & 2.

I have been interested in notebooking for a little while now, but I am not very creative or crafty. Finding graphics, sizing so it looks right, all that stuff doesn't just come to me. I am also not gifted in decorating. Anyway, I think my own inadequacies have held my kids back here. Thanks for the giveaway and a nudge to just try it. Does all the printing get expensive?

[Jeanette]

Have been debating whether or not I want to get a membership. We are ready to do more notebooking and it is a pain to search the web for pages that might work for what we want to do.

[Amy G.]

Thanks so much for this giveaway! I'm going to try the free pages tonight!

[Christine]

We use Heart of Dakota and there is some notebooking scheduled for science and history. I would like to use it for our other interests outside of the curriculum.

[Jen]

I have been thinking about buy the lifetime membership. We would use it for history and science.

[Elizabeth]

I have been looking at this product since we started homeschooling last year. It is not a question of if, but when. I love this website.

[Sharon]

My boys are just starting to be old enough to work on notebooking pages on their own. When we do them, I usually write the sentences they tell me and they illustrate them.

[Keisha]

We are new homeschoolers. I will try out notebooking this summer to see how I can make it work during next school year.

[Lindsay]

This looks great! I've been wanting to add notebooking into lessons.

[bonnie]

We have notebooked in the past with my boys but not with my daughter

[Missy]

We are just beginning the homeschool journey this next year so we haven't done any notebooking. This would be a great thing to get us started!

[Becky Honey]

Looks like a great resource. Thanks for the chance to win.
