Mead Primary Journal, Half Page Ruled, Grades K-2, 7-1/2" x 9-3/4", 100 Sheets, Red (489903-ECM)

Awesome for beginners. My kids practice writing their names, letters, and numbers. It is nice to have a notebook versus sheets of loose paper all over. I would definitely purchase again. I love how they can draw a picture on each page also.

This style of book was required for first grade. It's a good quality book. I like the blank space for drawing and the lined section for writing. The book seems sturdy and the paper is thick enough. I recommend it.

Had to get these books for my little’s kindergarten class. Love that it came in a multipack and at such a good deal. Quality of the notebook and thickness of the paper were good. I liked the colors. The print of the lines was good quality too.

Very good notebook for a kindergartner learning to write and loves to draw. Was a requirement for her class to have and they are good quality paper as well.

📝 The Mead Primary Journal (Half Page Ruled, Grades K-2) is hands-down the best on the market. The design and layout is the genius of this journal and the half-page format. The top half is completely blank for drawing, coloring, or pasting pictures, and the bottom half features the primary ruling (skip-a-line, dotted midline). This encourages children to fully illustrate their stories and then write the corresponding text, naturally integrating art and literacy. ⭐️ The primary ruling is essential for this age group (Kindergarten through Grade 2). The clear base line and the dotted midline provide the perfect visual cues to help kids practice forming letters correctly, maintaining consistent size, and placing their letters properly on the line. It drastically reduces frustration and messy handwriting. 📝 The quality and durability of the paper is a nice weight—thick enough that markers and heavier pencils don't bleed through easily. The binding is secure and holds up very well to the frequent opening, closing, and rough handling that younger children tend to give their school supplies. ⭐️ It is definitely of educational value, as it is an incredibly effective tool for fostering creative writing, storytelling, and drawing skills. It’s perfect for everything from daily quick writes to full-blown narrative projects. 📝 Overall, if you are a parent or educator looking for the ideal tool to help a young child transition from drawing to writing, this Mead Primary Journal is a non-negotiable must-have. It’s durable, perfectly designed, and genuinely helps kids feel successful as authors and illustrators! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Love these journals. I've bought one for each of my kids when they are in Kindergarten.

Perfect for my kindergartner- vibrant purple, cheaper than the store, thick pages.

Good product
