WHY BOOKMAKING & FOLD-IT-NOTES?

Bookmaking and fold-it-notes are three-dimensional, interactive graphic organizers that quickly organize and display data, making it easier for students to grasp concepts, theories, processes, and ideas.

Replace parent generated writing, or photocopied sheets with student-generated print.
Integrate language arts, social studies, mathematics, and science.
Provide a sense of ownership from an interactive, hands-on approach.
Can be used as alternative assessment portfolio by parents to evaluate student progress, or by students to evaluate their own progress.[B][U][B][U][B][U][B]
