She is a happier student, I am a happier mom. Then when I discovered notebooking, we invested in paper, art supplies, a comb binder, laminator and a library card. I spent a great deal of money our first year on material she never even used. Like you, I had preconceived notions of the “perfect” homeschool education. She now has an interest in History, Classical Music, Art, Literature, and chooses topics most kids wouldn’t. Then we began homeschooling in 6th grade, now approaching the end of 7th grade, my daughter actually makes out her own schedule of what she wants to read and Notebook on, she has taken initiative in her own education. She just read what she was told, answered questions at the end of a chapter, and took a test. Though my daughter has always been a good student, she wasn’t an independent thinker when it came to learning, unlike her older siblings. My daughter wouldn’t want to learn in any other way. We discovered Notebooking within months of beginning our homeschool journey, I couldn’t imagine educating any other way. She is retaining more information than ever, and is even working above grade level. This site motivates her to want to create and learn.
My daughter especially loves the Publisher. This is our go to site for all our notebooking needs. The possibilities are endless! My only regret is waiting so long to become a lifetime member.
My child gets excited about history, so now we can create a notebook of her favorite topics. I can’t wait to use the pages in conjunction with our curriculum to enhance what we are learning, instead of just flying over the materials. I just jumped in today and purchased the lifetime membership, and my creative ideas are flowing. I am seeing so many exciting pages, for geography, anatomy, history that I kept longing for that weren’t freebies. However, I keep coming back to the site to find more pages as we advance in our studies. I use the history pages for the same purpose. In science, we use the experiment pages to take notes and create easy study pages. This is my 3rd year homeschooling, and although I use a curriculum, I use the pages to supplement what we are doing. I have gotten a whole lot of mileage out of the lined papers and the science experiment papers. I have been using the “freebies” for some time.

Our notebooking products offer a variety of everything from layouts to the types of lines and number of lines on a page so that each product will fit a variety of children at the same time. Notebooking meets the child right where they are in their level of education and their level of interest. One of the reasons notebooking works so well for our family is that we can all do it together at the same time. My number one tip is to combine your children’s studies as much as possible. We have ten children and have homeschooled all of them for most (if not all) of their educational years. Yes! Our products ‘fit the family’ and ‘fit the budget’. Will notebooking work well for large families? Our notebooking pages and apps make these practices easier to implement (especially when working with multiple children). They build immeasurable learning skills in your children. We have found narration and the natural approach to language arts are the most “productive” and effective use of our time. Our primary goal at Productive Homeschooling is to help you make oral narration and written narration (through notebooking) a regular part of your homeschool day. That being said, our products work great with other approaches as well… Unit Study Method, Traditional Method, Unschooling, and more. We personally follow a Classical Charlotte Mason model in our home (traditional classical, not neo-classical). Our products accommodate any subject and style of homeschooling. What style of homeschooling works best with your products?
