The Problem...

During the first 6 years of homeschooling, I struggled through our school day, trying to check every box and keep up with grading. It was exhausting and unsustainable. I was in a constant state of self-doubt.

“Am I doing enough?
Am I ruining my kids?
How long can I keep this up?”

I wanted a more engaging and enriching homeschool. I craved cozy couch cuddles with inspiring books and conversations. How could I follow rabbit trails without the dark cloud of scope and sequences looming over me?

I WAS TIRED of...

I WANTED MORE THAN...

I WANTED TO GIVE UP...

That's when I found the SOLUTION...

NOTEBOOKING!

What is Notebooking?

Notebooking is a simple yet powerful way for children to document what they’re learning. Simply put, your children create a notebook of their learning.

They can use a spiral notebook, a composition book, a three-ring binder, or templates called notebooking pages (try our free notebooking pages here). When they are notebooking, they SHOW and TELL what they’ve learned in their own way, capturing their thoughts, ideas, and understanding.

No more boring worksheets or rigid assignments telling them what to learn or write—just a notebook filled with their own words, drawings, and reflections. With notebooking, you’re not chasing the perfect curriculum. It fits any subject, letting your kids dig into what really interests them.

This “read to learn, write to learn” notebooking approach naturally weaves writing into your child’s day. No need for a separate writing curriculum… unless you want one! Each child works at their own pace, reflecting on what they’re learning and sharing it in a way that makes sense to them.

No more worrying about falling behind—just meaningful learning that sticks.

Notebooking makes learning something your kids will actually look forward to. It turns everyday lessons into something memorable and enjoyable, freeing you from the grind of boring textbooks, complicated curriculum, and endless busywork.

We first came across notebooking via an online homeschool newsletter that led us to YOU! We used a variety of your free pages to try out this new idea. In past years, we have primarily used oral narration to reinforce learning, but I wanted to capture some of that on paper this year, for record keeping. Enter your site. I took you up on your offer of the lifetime membership. When I opened up the file, I couldn’t believe how many great options there were, always something available to tie in with what we are learning, and new great pages coming along throughout the year. Notebooking has become an integral part of our schooling this year; we use them with our Sonlight history (to capture narration and related artwork), for our copywork/handwriting, and for science. The kids are always excited to see what page is coming next, and we look forward to binding the pages at the end of the year into books! My kids have normally been rather averse to having to WRITE, much preferring the oral narration, but the wonderful pages, and the knowledge they are creating a book, make it more fun for them. And I feel more confident in my homeschooling than ever, because I have wonderful records of all we have accomplished- wonderful peace of mind! I have never been to any other notebooking-pages site, because I have always found everything and exactly what I needed HERE! Thanks for such a fabulous resource!

I love Notebooking! It is such a great way for the children to “show what they know” right at the level they are at. Some of my kids have trouble writing–they are so glad to have space to draw pictures and the layouts are inspiring, because there are many pages with fewer lines–not so intimidating. The selection is amazing–and always growing! I am also LOVING the Membership idea, because I have always “wanted it all” and now I can have it!!!

I had heard about notebooking for years, but I just KNEW my kids weren’t that into taking notes. As we read history, for instance, I would mention things they needed to write down, and the response was moaning, groaning, and slow motion, then messy, if any notes. Last week, for science, I needed a skeleton page to label, and we had been studying the Explorers. I prayed, talked to my husband, and took the plunge. We purchased the notebooking membership to save my time. I immediately printed off an Explorers page, a map, and 2 explorers pages each. The pages were met with colored pencils, immediate attention, and almost excitement. Even my 15 yo, who isn’t required with the younger few, sat down and did notes!! Lots of notes. They were engaged, asked spelling, dates, and listened. The 6yo kept up with the others, and had the cutest notes ever!! I’m surprised, and SOLD on notebooking 😉

I have 4 kids ages 10, 7, 5, and 4. Two years ago we started lapbooking with most of our school subjects except math and phonics. We started lapbooking so that the kids could really make their own books with subjects that interested them. I knew though that as the kids got older that I wanted more than just cutting and pasting so we started adding more copywork to the lapbooks. It was a very natural transition to start notebooking. They now add their own artwork (one of the features I like with the notebooking pages is all the variety for clipart or blank spots for art work with lines for notebooking) Notebooking was a great way for us to journal and work through learning grammar skills in a practical way as well as practicing handwriting. Plus, this way the kids have personalized documentation of their work that we keep in a folder and they love to look over their work from each past year. I honestly wasn’t sure if notebooking would work for our family, but it has been so versatile with whatever we are covering from “required” subjects to ones of personal interest. The great thing is the little boys see the older two notebooking and they want to join in. My youngest just made his own journal book this morning to “write” in. Love it when stuff like that happens. Thanks, Debra for all your hard work and making it so accessible too.

We are loving notebooking! Let me just say it has completely changed our school for the better. Now the girls are really excited to “do school”. I was about to give up even though I knew it was what God wanted us to do. School was just drudgery. This has breathed new life into our home and days. How could something so simple provide such relief? If you can’t enjoy what you are doing, then, what is the point? We are so happy to be notebooking.
