Early in our homeschooling career we purchased Dinah Zike’s Big Book of Books and Activities, which was full of hundreds of foldables, booklets, and manipulatives. Dinah Zike’s Foldables is available for free.
What are foldables?
Foldables are multi-dimensional graphic organizers that can be used for skills reinforcement, practice, and/or information organizing.
We call them lapbooks.
This is a 51-page eBook full of foldables with easy directions, application ideas, tips, and notes, and is free to read online.
Categories include:
- Picture frames.
- Shutters.
- Pockets.
- Layered books.
- Matchbooks.
- Tab books.
- Accordion books.
- Folded tables and charts.
- Foldables for word study.
- Foldables correlated to reading skills.
Foldables can be a first step on the way to a lifetime notebooking habit.
This is a great resource for the DIY Homeschool Handy Mom! And it’s free!
