    I love the Notebook Companions for my older, independently-writing son, so I was waiting with baited breath for the release of Notebook Companions for younger students! As always, the books DSB selects for Notebook Companions are educational, BEAUTIFUL, and the kind you and your child will want to read and re-read. (I believe Miss Charlotte Mason would approve!) The advice to have non-writing children narrate answers is very wise and takes so much pressure off both child and parent. The oral narration experience is a wonderful way to take a moment to slow down and “be” with your younger child (instead of rushing to check off a box on a worksheet which is counter-intuitive for little learners!). Plus, having a conversation models the discussion/evaluation experience for the child. Win-win!

    My one suggestion is to add alternate prompts for the earliest notebookers, particularly those whose fine muscle control hasn’t caught up to their attentive eyes. For example, instead of “draw x, y, and z”, offer, “OR…What colors do you see in the feathers of a ruby-throated hummingbird? Color this box with the colors of the feathers!” This is actually what I am doing with my 4- and 6-year-olds. 🙂

    P.S. We keep bees. The eggs hatch in cells which are in/make up the (honey)comb. I realize calling it a “nest” is the author/publisher’s liberty, but my sons wanted you to know. 🙂 Perhaps the Notebook could remedy this with “draw some honeycomb where the bees will hatch!” 🙂
