Best Composition Book for First Grade
I’ve been teaching 1st grade for 15 years. I get these every year! They have a good sized picture box lines sized for K-2 the pages do not feel overwhelming to fill for a primary child and they don’t fall apart. Try it you’ll like it!

Perfect for First and Second Graders
The inside pages of this Primary Composition Book is perfect for Kindergartners and First Graders. However I think the cover page could have looked nicer.

Staples Primary Composition Notebook.
I really like the notebook. The only thing that would make it better would be to have a little larger lines for kindergarten.
