About Me: Homeschooling

Mother of seven and wife to a Baptist preacher, I rarely fit into expected stereotypes and homeschooling is no different. An unschooler at heart who is also a self-professed curriculum junkie, I balance this paradox with a relaxed homeschooling style utilizing literature, unit studies, lapbooking, and plenty of free time to pursue independent interests. Entering my fifteenth year of homeschooling, I have graduated my two oldest and am currently homeschooling grades 3-10. I believe true education involves teaching your child how to learn and equipping them to follow their dreams.

STUDYPOD Book Holder

Posted by Lori Thursday, September 17, 2009

I know there’s been many times when I’ve been trying to juggle a cup of coffee, an open book, and a pen and notebook. When I saw the Studypod, I knew it was something I’d use a lot in my home. The Studypod Book Holder holds your book for you at an angle similar to a laptop computer. This is great for schoolbooks when taking notes or doing research. It’s a help when needing to type and read at the same time. And it’s a perfect way to continue enjoying that book over lunch.

The Studypod is a hard plastic case, resembling an oversized paperback, with a netted pocket for holding pens or pencils. It’s easy to use; you just pull the metal stand out, open the Studypod, and swing the metal page holders around. Then it’s easy to place your book on the stand and get to work. This holds books of all sizes and thickness. I tried it with my 500 page hardcover and it held just fine.

We are loving this at our house. In fact, I had to go steal it back from my sixteen year old daughter in order to write this review. I plan to order a couple more for our house, as I know I’ll probably never see this one again once my daughter gets it back in her hands!

The Studypod Book Holder sells for $19.99 or you can buy two or more for $16.99 each. Studypod is offering a $5 off coupon code to readers of the TOS Crew reviews. Just type in TOSBLOG5. I plan to order an extra one for myself.

I'm thinking pink.

Love this!
