Homeschool Helper with Charisse Van Horn

Notebooking is a method of using a subject notebook to research a topic.  You can choose to use a regular lined notebook to journal in and add cutouts or pictures to your notebook by taping or gluing them down, or you might prefer to use a three ring binder folder where you can add your own notebooking paper and easily add other pages (such as cardstock or picture cutouts) by using a paper punch.  It’s important to use a notebooking method that works best for you, but as you add more imagination to your notebook, you might find that the three ring binder is more suitable for your needs.

You can combine many scrapbooking techniques with your notebooking methods to create stunning and spectacular educational notebooks.  However, the main point of notebooking isn’t in creating a beautiful work of art, but an educational research book that children have created themselves.

Here are some examples to notebooking samples online.
