Carson Dellosa | Interactive Notebook Language Arts Workbook | Grade 3, Printable
[{'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on December 24, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-1 review-rating', 'review_body': 'This seemed like a very cool idea with a lot of potential. However, someone in quality control must have really dropped the ball. You are supposed to have the child cut out a page from each lesson and then paste it in their own separate notebook, so they create their own workbook from the materials provided in this "interactive notebook".\n\nBut there is one huge problem.\n\nThe next lesson is on the back of the page you are supposed to cut out. So, when the child followed the instructions for the first lesson, cut out the items on the page and pasted it into their book...they actually completely ruined the second lesson by removing all the instructions! How does someone design something so obviously flawed? How have so many people given it good reviews? Did anyone actually begin using the book before leaving their reviews?\n\nI was extremely disappointed and my only consolation is that Amazon is refunding me. Don\'t waste your time with this colossal mistake!'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on August 16, 2017', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-4 review-rating', 'review_body': "These is a great starter resource for teachers/parents wanting to start interactive notebooks. Includes a good section on getting started, ideas for notebook uses, grading rubric, page to plan your notebook etc. The ideas are easy to implement but do take time. The time put into getting the notebook setup is time consuming but if you are doing them for several subjects the students get the hang of it quickly and the process moves along faster. The more you do them, the better the students and teacher get at utilizing this tool. The kids love it and it's WAY better than boring worksheets. I suggest purchasing a grade up and down. Some pages are a bit repetitive up or down a grade (depending on the subject you purchase) but this helps to differentiate for students within your classroom. I've taught for many years and homeschool my own and it is great with having a multi-age classroom. I add pages and activities in our interactive notebook as needed and exclude any I don't need. Is it perfect? No. Is it useful? Yes. A good foundation to build on.\n\nI purchased Language Arts, Science, and Math and am considering the Word Study. I wish they had Geography/History. I also think they should offer a grade level bundle that helps you save on these resources. Just an idea."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on October 24, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'I home school my son and these books have seriously turned our school around! We use a spiral bound notebook and use this book as a starting off on what he should be learning. If a page has vowels, we begin with that, then I can search the internet for more materials on that subject and we add them (by pasting) to the notebooks. We usually take a week for a topic, or less if my son grasps the concept quickly, This book takes us through a school year.\nMy brother and sister in law are elementary teachers. When I showed them this book and our notebook, they were very impressed and that some of the work, was more advanced than what they are teaching in the second grade classroom.\nMy son can tell you about \'R" controlled vowels, nouns, verbs, pronouns, digraphs and more. I\'m very pleased with these selections of books and the varied ways, that they can be adapted to suit your particular learner.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on August 16, 2017', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-4 review-rating', 'review_body': "These is a great starter resource for teachers wanting to start interactive notebooks.

Some pages are a bit repetitive up or down a grade but this helps to differentiate for students within your classroom (especially in Science). I found the pages for Rocks easy to incorporate and differentiate for the different ages at home. For Math, I found that what I needed for my homeschoolers was found in a variety of grade levels because of the nature of homeschooling. It is useful for me to have a few grade levels here to choose activities from. The plus side to that is that if you have multiple children you will continue using them as needed.

I am a homeschooling mom and this book is amazing. It falls right in line with the major homeschool curriculum. It would also work perfect in regular schools. It leaves space for you and the student to expand and add your own flair. I bought language, math and science. I wish I would have done it sooner.\n\nJust a side note-- you have to copy all the pages to use them but it is well worth it.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on June 25, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-4 review-rating', 'review_body': 'Interactive Notebooks are great for kids who love to learn and do arts & crafts projects. I purchased this to teach my homeschooled son, thinking he would enjoy them. Unfortunately, we would spend a lot of time cutting and pasting and little time learning. To make the exercise more time effective, I would assemble the pages at night and he would do the activity the next day. He enjoyed doing it that way more than I did. They are educational and because they are interactive, the information was retained better than just talking about each subject.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on October 15, 2017', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-3 review-rating', 'review_body': "I did't like it, but my son likes the interactive part of having to cut, color and paste. I just think it slows the pace of learning and I as an adult find it boring as a tool to help tutor my son. I marked it a 3 star because my 7 yr. old likes it and this is something he does at school, but I honestly did'nt like it at all and would have given it a 1 star if it was only my opinion."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on August 11, 2021', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'I used this product in my tutoring program.

It really helps because most reading series now doesn't include as many grammar things. The kids also love the cut and paste activities as it breaks up the monotony of taking notes."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on October 15, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'Great for ELA interactive notebook with standards!
