I do very similar! I did buy these clear plastic covers/backs so I no longer laminate, just put one of those on the front and back. I also started printing each unit separately. So we have 3-4 smaller books instead of the large one. Partly because we have tons of field trips and other travel and it makes it much lighter for them to bring their books with :) we LOVE the good and beautiful.

I've definitely toyed with the idea of binding the units separately. :)

I’ve always wondered how you did this! Thanks for sharing. Also, no need to explain yourself! I think it is so refreshing to see other homeschooling moms in their more normal, everyday state. Love it! It’s a great thing to normalize and to celebrate how we are most of the time! 🙂

I have to do that manually. I choose the "print only odd pages" option and then flip them and then print the even pages.

This was very informative; thank you! Do you no longer clip the edges of the covers with the little clipper tool? I remember you doing that in a past tutorial. If not, I'm just curious as to why (as I do everything precisely as you suggest when I bind)! Thank you for a lovely video.

I’d love to know the cost savings! I’m in the decision process of buying pre-bound or not so deciding what would cost less! I don’t have any supplies like a printer, laminator, etc yet so I need to get those

@ThisHomeschoolHouse Жыл бұрын

It really does depend on your family and where you're located. Shipping to where I live (New Zealand) usually begins at $89USD and only gets more expensive. So, for us it literally saves hundreds of dollars.

Have you printed out any of the tgtb booster cards or readers? If so, how'd you manage?

@ThisHomeschoolHouse Жыл бұрын

Yes! I printed them on A5 paper with no issues. The readers for levels K-1 are trickier but TGTB Printing helps Facebook page has excellent instructions on how to do it!

I have the same printer as you for our homeschool! Do you find that once the ink gets under the halfway point, it prints much slower and the colour of the ink is distorted?? I always have to refill the ink above half or else everything that comes out gets ruined 😢

I'm sorry, no. I've not had that issue. :/ I'd try contacting Epson.

How much would you say it costs to print? I want to say its way less than it would cost to buy the book but its probably a few bucks more expensive at least? Have you calculated the cost?

It costs me around $5 NZD for a full course book. Much cheaper.

I live in a causal state as homeschooling and studying myself!!! Nothing wrong with it!!! We haven’t printed yet but I think my youngest wants it printed. International shipping makes pdfs worth it!!! We love our ecotank!!! My older kids print the pages they want in their books!!! We even have TGTB Art on my kids bedroom walls!!! They laminate it!!! If my 5 year old asks we do it for her but my old kids don’t ask as they know they are allowed to do it as I know they are safe!!! I think I could bind but it looks hard.

The art from TGTB is certainly beautiful!
