Workbooks are a fact of life for moststudents. But they can be expensive to order and may not even providethe exact teaching materials that you need. Creating your own can be acost-effective way to provide high quality workbooks tailored to yourstudents' needs. Whether you homeschool and only need a few or are partof a larger organization and use hundreds of books, perforated papercan help you create the perfect workbook for your children. Here's how.

  • First, gather your materials. Just about anyclass can benefit from a workbook. Elementary schools may use them topractice writing letters, numbers, words, and eventually shortcompositions. Middle schools may use a workbook to name countries oridentify verbs in a sentence. High school language classes useworkbooks to conjugate verbs and practice vocabulary. Science labs inboth high school and college use workbooks to track experiments and doanalyses. And math classes at any level use workbooks to solveequation. Wherever there is homework, there can be a workbook. Studentswill appreciate having all their homework in one place as opposed to aplethora of handouts that may get lost in their notebook or backpack.

  • Next,decide how your workbook will be set up. This will help you decide whattype of perforated pages you need. Will your materials start right atthe edge? If so you may prefer slightly larger 9" by 11" pages to allowfor binding space. Otherwise standard 8.5" by 11" paper will work fine.Will you print on both sides? This allows you to provide the sameamount of information in half the paper but often results in visualocclusions from the opposite side. Purchasing 24lb as opposed to 20lbbond paper will provide higher quality results. Legal paper is alsoavailable perforated but less commonly used for workbook purposes. Thisarticle assumes workbook pages need to be perforated on one edge but aneasy tear off panel may work better for some. Pages can also haveperforations ranging from 3" to 3-2/3" from one end.

  • Timeto print! Once you have the perforated paper, print out the workbookcontents. A great thing about perforated paper is that it's designed torun smoothly through your existing office machines, including copiersand printers. Once perforated, the pages are run through rollers andthen sealed in moisture resistant reams to eliminate curling. When youopen the package, you'll have flat, quality paper that won't jam yourequipment.

  • Now put everything together.You can bind it yourself if you have a binding machine. If not and abinding device isn't in your budget, many office supply stores offerbinding at a reasonable price. Or, for a thinner workbook, you cansimply staple the pages down the side. This depends entirely on yourresources and how professional the workbook needs to be.

Following these steps, you should be able to easily put aworkbook together. Students will learn much better when their workbooksare matched to what they're learning, no matter the subject. Andperforated paper will help to insure pages torn out aren't ripped inhalf or missing problems. Everyone involved will benefit from customhandmade workbooks; design one for yourself today!
