Minibooks for Reference

Parts of Speech Layered Book

In our grammar study, I wanted Sprite to make a handy reference for the parts of speech. So to make it more interesting than a mere list, I gave her a multi-colored layered book.  She filled in the information and labeled the tabs. And there it is — a colorful and useful reference.

So don’t forget the many uses of minibooks. Even if you don’t like lapbooks, a minibook here and there can be a creative addition to your homeschool curriculum.

I *love* that idea! I hope you’ll consider submitting it to the Homeschool Showcase. ;-)

Terrific idea! I’m filing it away for when I begin “formal” grammar with my son next year.

Excellent! I think I have some of these made up from when I THOUGHT we would lapbook…. Great idea.

Great idea! I’d never thought of using the mini-books in this way. Something to consider doing with all of the *extras* we always seem to have left over.

Cool! I like this!

I hadn’t thought of mini-books, but I recently started making notebook pages of the parts of speech with my girls. It’s amazing how adding some color (underlining with colored pencils, putting a colored box around the definitions…) made a huge difference to them!! They’d enjoy mini books even more!!

Great idea! I sometimes forget about mini books for anything besides lapbooking, but this is a neat creative use!
