IF A Student has Trouble with

Keeping An Organized Notebook

You can try...........

  • Checking the notebook often
  • Having the student number all pages
  • Checking the notebook daily
  • Requiring the student to keep one notebook for each subject, or using one large ring binder with a divider for each subject
  • Color coding pages by subject area or by weeks, months, and so forth.
  • Having the student immediately file pages following instruction or receipt of the sheets
  • Requiring the student to keep a hole-punch device.
  • Assigning a "notebook-buddy" from the class (choose someone who has good notebook-keeping skills)
