Guest guest Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 Has anyone ever come across any good techniques for protecting workbook sheets? & nbsp; & nbsp; I use math workbooks to practice math skills with my child and it gets expensive to keep replacing the books.

Guest guest Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 How about photocopying the pages before they're used? That's my best shot at the moment!

Guest guest Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 You need to buy those overhead sheets. They are single stiffer sheets that can be stuck over the page of the workbook and clipped with a paper clip. Use a Vis-à-vis marker then wash the sheet off in the sink to reuse. Get them at office supply places. They can be used to photocopy on; that is the original use but as a teacher, I use them to write on. Vis-à-vis markers come in different colors. Underline the directions in one color, circle the problem numbers in another, etc. to guide your child. Even highlight the line where the answers go. Remember that workbooks function well for working on basic skills, but you need to also apply those skills to real life problem solving to make them useful. If old enough, get a real checkbook (fake checks-your bank will give them to you for free) and practice a budget. How much money would you receive weekly for a job at Taco Bell or one that requires college and use that information. Deduct taxes, etc. Have your child interview 3 people with different jobs to decide which sounds interesting. Use your basic house bills as they come in (child checks mail for bills coming in)for realism. Mail fake payroll checks to the house as well. For any age of kids, buy a toy cash register from a teacher store. Use REAL coins, not plastic for struggling kids. They do not need to learn two types (fake and real). If you want, I can send you a basic invoice to use to make simple purchases from the clerk, you. Trade jobs. I do this with 2nd graders. They love it. I even let them write checks out of my checkbook for utility bills and I sign them. Forces addition, subtraction, neat hand writing, and following directions. Have fun, hope this helps. It should be done with all children so they see how much it takes to run a household and they become more aware of why there isn't enough money for expensive toys and things.

Guest guest Posted June 7, 2008 Report Share Posted June 7, 2008 If you have problems getting the markers off the protective page, try really cheap liquid hairspray. I was able to get permanent marker off my paneling with it. The only challenge is getting all the hairspray off the item. If you don’t, it will leave a yellowish residue. My mom is a hairdresser and we tried it because it breaks down hair color. The aerosol type will work, but the cheap liquids seems to do better. It also gets ink out of clothing.

You could remove the pages from the workbook, laminate them, and then put in a three ring binder. After that, you can use china markers or grease markers on the laminationed sheet. You can find the lamination sheets at any office supply store (these do not require heat). You could try to laminate them in the existing workbook too. Re: workbook sheet protectors?
