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

Great for kindergarten
This is the notebook requested by the teacher. It’s great for the type of writing they do in kindergarten. I’m glad it was in stock because they were hard to come by for a little while.

Nice For First Grader
This is a nice book for teaching writing and it has space at the top of the page for a drawing which my first grader is required to draw for every story she writes.

Great for first grade!
This notebook is great for 1st grade because they have to write sentences and draw pictures for their assignments. The top half of the page is blank and the students can draw and label their pictures and the bottom half has lines for writing sentences. The lines have the middle dotted line to help the students write their letters properly.

Love these!
I discovered these notebooks thru my daughters teacher and they are great! There is space at the top to draw a little picture and then lines at the bottom to practice writing. I had to buy more for my second daughter. These are great!

Very useful notebook!
My second grader needs this notebook now more than ever during remote learning to improve her handwriting. She’s been using it since first grade..we’ve seen very good results i definitely recommend buying for any young learning writer. I like how it includes the alphabet inside.

Perfect for learning to write stories!
My kindergarten and 2nd grade kiddos are remote learning this year. The teachers are introducing writing stories and having the kids draw a picture on the top of the page and then write their story below. These composition books have already made a difference in their writing lessons! I'm thrilled with this purchase and it was delivered next day thanks to Staples!
