A New Angle to Study By With the STUDYPOD Book Holder....

Just about the size of a library book, the STUDYPOD Book Holder's dimensions are just one aspect of its convenient and useful nature. As its name implies, the STUDYPOD is a portable book holder that can accomodate books up to 2.25" in diameter. Designed by a teacher with the input of students, it is meant to fit easily into a backpack, to be taken out and used almost anywhere to hold books at a comfortable angle while students read and work.
I think most all of us remember trying to juggle the space and find the right angle on a conventional school desk to fit the books and papers we needed to complete our assignments. Remember that ache in your neck and back from hunching over our work area? Now, the scenario is somewhat different as students are working in front of screens as well. The STUDYPOD can help in both scenarios. As a tool to hold books upright, it not only allows students more room to work at a traditional desk, it also holds what is being read at a more comfortable angle for reading. Notice the differences in the two images below.




How does it work? Check out the YouTube video below which explains exactly how to set up and use the STUDYPOD BookHolder.


Okay, how is the STUDYPOD Book Holder useful for our family? Here are a few of the uses, other than the main one of personal book holder, I've discovered for here in our homeschool:

• as a music holder (our keyboard's music rack broke years ago)
• to hold books open at an angle both students can see as I teach
• to hold both papers or books at the computer as I work

What's the cost? Normally, one STUDYPOD Book Holder costs $19.95 on the website, while you can buy two or more at $16.95 apiece. As a special deal for readers of the Crew members' blogs, you can use the code TOSBLOG5 to save $5 on your online order. The STUDYPOD comes in black, blue, and pink. And you can check out their warranty here.

I just saw something neat on their website. They have information available about how to sell the STUDYPOD as a fundraiser and how to become a STUDYPOD affiliate. Sounds like an idea to check out.

So, if you are in need of a tool to help you make more efficient use of your school or study space, one that is sturdy, portable, and able to hold a variety of texts and papers, check out the STUDYPOD Book Holder at their website here or in the reviews of other Crew members here.
