I love to review homeschool curriculum. The books I’m going to tell you about now aren’t just for homeschoolers! They are for all students, no matter where they go to school.

 

The Big Fat Notebook series of books are study guides for middle school students that focuses on the five core subjects. The Big Fat Notebook series makes studying cool. These books deliver everything a student needs to know to ace Math, Science, English Language Arts, World History, and American History.

They also provide a model for teaching students how to effectively write and organize notes of their own – an important skill they’ll take into their high school years and beyond

The pages of the Big Fat Notebook are colorful and easy to read. Here are a few sample pages. After reading a section, there are questions for the student to answer. The answers are on the next page, not visible when doing the questions, making it easy for the student to check their answers.

The drawings in the Big Fat Notebooks not only illustrate the lesson, but are fun to look at.

I like that the books give examples while covering the material. I think that makes it easier for the student to remember the material.

The Big Fat Notebook series of books are for middle school students. In my opinion, these books could also be used in upper elementary school, either read by the student or read aloud to the student. I also can see value in using these books with a high school student that needs a refresher, or needs remedial work. So don’t rule these books out if your kids aren’t in middle school.

  1. OK, so I’m a geek. I got excited about this set of books…for myself! If I win, however, it would be a gift to a niece or nephew. I like that it is a good example of organizing and writing your own notes.

  2. I like the bullet writing. My children like reading snippets of facts and will read oodles of facts that way. It’s a good way to learn. 🙂

  3. I love how cute the layout is. It’s hard to fit a large amount of information into a small space and have it not look crowded and boring.

  4. I help with homework for my grandchildren. I would appreciate anything that would make it easier and more fun, and that they would still like me at the end of the day.

  6. I love that it gives the actual bisuals for a lot of things in a vlear understandable manner. I also love that it encompasses items that most of us as parents learned to do years ago and it is no longer done that way so it makes it hard for us to help them.

  8. The pictures. One of the things I liked about my childhood dictionary was that it was illustrated, and covered not just words but historical events and people too.

  9. I love that they look fun, have big writing and break up the text with pictures, my kids love comics so this would appeal to them.

  12. This is amazing! I want to get these set of books!!! I know more and more people are going for ebooks but I just love having to hold a physical book and turn it’s page one by one. Plus these set are very educational! 🙂

  14. My favorite feature of these notebooks are that they are so kid friendly and have great pictures to make them appealing for kids.

  17. The layout and illustrations seem to be beneficial to helping students understand and remember details. I hate trying to memorize facts from big chunks of text, kids probably hate it too!

  18. I love learning! The Big Fat Notebook series is awesome! Thanks for sharing some inside pictures! I hope to win this not just for me but everyone in my family!

  21. My favorite feature of the Big Fat Notebooks is that the key points of the article are highlighted,

  23. I love how versatile they are – I work with folks who are learning English, and also with people working on their GEDs. Sometimes they are really intimidated with the material, and these books would be a great place to start and build up their confidence!

  30. These look fabulous! I’m a homeschool mom of 7 & am always looking for new ways to keep learning fresh & fun! I never want them to get bored or turned off by monotonous activities. My favorite thing about these books is the colorful & playful illustrations! This is what would hold my kiddos’ attentions for hours!

  36. They’re interesting just to browse through and the explanations are very clear, without being over-simplistic. I was paging through the history one at a bookstore the other day and was super-impressed by the explanation of the causes of WWI.

  41. I like that the books can apply to anyone interested in learning – no matter what age… even old folks like me!

  42. First things first, this books look amazing!! I love that there is a variety of subjects!! Thanks so much for this chance. Fingers crossed

  43. My favorite feature would be the use of examples. It is so important to give examples, and I agree that it makes it easier to remember.

  51. Wow, what a great set of books! My kids would love this. From your photos it looks like they use multiple techniques to convey the lessons (combining pictures, bullet points, and more detailed text) which is great for kids. Thanks for the chance to try these. I would love to incorporate them into our homeschooling.

  52. I like how they let them answer some questions and put the answers on next page so it helps them learn what they just read.

  53. I like the layout and easy to read print. It looks like it makes learning fun, and is a pleasant twist on standard learning books by keeping things modern without being boring.

  57. I like the way the information is laid out on each page – with highlighted terms, important info in highlighted boxes, etc. Those things would be helpful for struggling students.
