What is a lapbook? It’s a creative & fun learning tool that reinforces the unit study content – a very simple, hands on activity that is included with both the Download N Go® and Passport Scout unit studies. Children remember things that they create, and lapbooking reinforces the content of these studies.
The colorful lapbook templates are ready for you and your child to print, cut out, and complete together. With these elements, your child will make pop-ups, vocabulary mini-books, timelines, and much more. These pieces are then attached to a simple file folder that is folded in a unique way to create a special “lapbook”.
Lapbooking encourages interest and motivation levels by using bite-sized pieces of information at a time. Shorter units help kids stay focused and provide them the thrill of completing their project. (Time to show Grandma as they excitedly tell all about each of those parts in their colorful lapbook masterpieces!)
You can choose whether or not to include the lapbooking components on each study – they are optional. And remember that you can tailor my studies to fit your child – the very best approach to learning.
