Lapbooks
Lapbooks are a wonderful way to meet the needs of both learning styles. With a lapbook you make a visual outline of a topic that includes booklets that you open in various ways to find the answer. Our favorite resources:
Homeschool Share Free lapbooks that are mainly literature based.
Homeschool Helper Some free lapbooks.
Hands of a Child My favorite lapbooks for 3rd and up. They have study guide and all the answers are there.
Home School in the Woods Beautiful, detailed lapbooks perfect for 5th grade and up.
