Post by MommyInTraining » Tue Jul 28, 2009 1:14 pm

Do any of you use paper from them? If so, which items do you like?

Thanks!

I LOVE their white handwriting paper!! I never liked the feel of newsprint, and I liked that I could get paper the same size as regular notebook paper. So much of the handwriting tablets are odd sizes.

Well, they come every year to my local homeschool conference, so I usually buy it there. I'm not going this year, though, so I will order directly from them if I can't get a friend to buy some for me there. However, I only need about $4 worth, and I hate to pay shipping on that!! They do charge actual shipping, though.

I have used their Ring bound Spelling Book, their Memory journal for copy work and their Picture Story Book to store our art from the week and we usually write the verse that goes with it as copy work on the lines.
They are usually at the Homeschool Convention I attend, but I have ordered from them online before. You can go to the website to see sample pages to get a visual.

We use their Picture Story Books/Notesketch books for our Science notebooking. They have lines at the bottom and a blank space at the top to illustrate. These notebooks come in different line heights for different grade levels.

I purchased a blank time-line spiral notebook from them to use for Beyond, and I also love the notebooking journals and spelling paper.

OK, I am having trouble seeing the lines on the picture on their website. Could someone please tell me at what grade they stop using dotted midlines?

Thanks so much!!!

Terri :D

Hi, could you explain this further to me? Is this for Beyond? Is there a memory verse to copy and artwork to go with? :?: :?: :? :? :?:

Thanks so much!!!

Each week in Beyond includes a Memory verse and an art/craft project. We decided to put it in one of the Miller "Picture Story Books" for the kids to keep. Since there are lines in the Picture Story Book we have them do some copy work. It is not required in Beyond, but it's good extra practice for them, since there is no official handwriting. It is usually the Memory verse in whole, part or altered a bit to go with the art project.
Reason being is that we, a dear friend and I, always include the art/craft on our weekly HOD co-op day.
The kids absolutely love showing off their art books and it reminds us of the memory verses we learned.
Hope this helps.
If you are very visual PM me and I will see if I can e-mail you some pictures.
