My notebooks came damage. The notebooks are bended and ripped. And they're very expensive.

Great
These journals are great for primary grades because they have the extra lines for writing practice and the box for drawing a picture on every page. This keeps students engaged because not only do they write but they can illustrate their work too!! I love these notebooks and at the sale price of $1.99 they were well worth it!

Great
It’s great for my kindergartener who gets to draw pictures of what she’s practicing. She’s able to use her art as a reference to her words

Some of the best
This is a great price compared to other stores. The paper is not thin for multiple erasing. The lines are bold and easy to see. Most importantly alway in stock.

Excellent for beginning story writers who like to.
My 4 ye old likes writing stores and drawing pictures so these books were excellent for her. The indented lines helps also with penmanship. Will differently purchase more.

TRU RED Primary Composition Book
As a retired Elementary School Teacher I have been so pleased over the last number of years to find these Primary Composition Books in Staples. They are great for children in the Primary grades. The top third of the page is blank to draw a picture to go with the story written below on Primary ruled lines. A great find and I know the children will enjoy using them...
