Are You New To Lapbooking?

Have you wondered how to lapbook, what to put in your lapbook, what in the WORLD is a lapbook? Here is a little information to help you understand what lapbooking is and how to get started.

First I would highly recommend to look at some free ones online or purchase 1 or 2 that is already put together for you. They come in a down loadable PDF version.
