About Debra Reed — Homeschool Mom of 10 & Founder of NotebookingPages.com
Homeschooling wasn't always pretty. Here's our story.
The Backstory
Over twenty years ago, I was a high school math teacher turned new homeschool mom, eager to give my kids an enjoyable, individualized education.
The Problem
After six years of experimenting with different methods, schedules, and curricula—with seven kids in tow—I was exhausted.
We checked all the right boxes, moved kids from one grade to the next, and even impressed the skeptics with memorized timelines and Latin declensions.
But whole days were lost to a flurry of curricula, worksheets, comprehension questions, and tests—powered by the famous “study and forget” method of learning.
No one was excited. No one was inspired. It was busywork that bred boredom and led straight to burnout.

We want to spark our children's curiosity, strengthen their learning skills, and nurture their independence—not lead them to boredom and burnout.
The Solution
Desperate to fix our homeschool, I started searching. That’s when a veteran homeschool mom introduced me to a method that felt too simple, too flexible—almost too good to be true. But it turned out to be the perfect solution—notebooking.
The Transformation
Notebooking changed everything. I could combine multiple kids for subjects like Bible, History, and Science—using engaging books—while each child responded at their own level.
Notebooking wove language arts into the rest of our learning, giving my kids meaningful ways to read, write, and think as they worked. And because we weren’t drowning in separate subjects and busywork, we finally had time to follow the things that sparked their curiosity.
Notebooking gave us a “read to learn, write to learn” rhythm that stuck—and finally made homeschooling more engaging, effective, and even enjoyable.
