A lap book, layer book, flap book, or shutter book is a type of single-subject book created by a young student, generally as a supplement to a curriculum. Lapbooks are made from a paperboard folder such as a file folder with small pieces of folded paper glued inside. These folded papers may contain facts, diagrams, illustrations,
etc. related to the subject.
Teachers and parents who use lap books with students
say that they enhance creativity and critical thinking while integrating
subjects such as science, language, history, geography, and
mathematics, depending on the subject of the lap book. There are online companies that provide a variety of lap book materials and curriculum to both educators and parents who home school their children. Companies like: Train Up A Child, Time4Learning, Lapbook Lessons, and Appletastic Learning.
Our online research links are based upon the written content found inside each character's book(s). Websites are written, in general, for fifth to sixth grade readers, as are newspapers. So if your student is approximately 9-12 years of age, book(s) and the research web links that we have included here should be approximate to their reading levels. This will vary for individual students depending upon their school environment, reading history, and developmental ability, of course. We always recommend that parents and teachers visit the websites prior to their students study, to review the content.
Educators may consider introducing alternative internet journal or diary assignments for those students who love to write about their doll/toy interests and have out-grown lap book assignments. As internet
access has became commonly available, many young people are adopting it as yet another
medium in which to chronicle their interests with the added dimension of an
audience.
