Purchase a three-ring binder from any store that sells school or office supplies. Make sure the binder is at least 2 inches thick and has folder pockets on the inside covers to hold smaller, loose pieces of paper. You can also get a folder with three holes that fits into your binder.
Log on to a website that offers free notebooking pages, which will guide you or the child you are teaching to look for the information and record it. A few examples of these printable pages are maps, outlines for science experiments, and cursive writing practice pages.
Download the printable pages by clicking on the link for them. Open them up on your computer and print them out. Punch holes in them so you can store them in your binder or put them in the folder inside the binder.
Add some college ruled paper to the binder to take handwritten notes on the subjects you have chosen. Writing things by hand will help you memorize them instead of just printing them out from a computer.
Open the binder rings and place divider pages between each section of the binder to keep your notes separate from your artwork and your workbook pages. Dividers are made of slightly heavier paper, have plastic tabs on the sides for labeling, and contain three holes so you can add them to your binder. Write the names of each section on a strip of paper with a dark marker and slip them into the tabs of the dividers.
Add some vinyl sleeves or thin pouches that have three holes on the sides to your binder. These will hold things that you may want to collect for certain projects (like a leaf collection) or small snippets of paper like ticket stubs and other collectibles.
