How to Use This Pack

Five sheets of notebook paper, each with a Name and Date line at the top and no title, so the lines fill the page. Pages 1 and 2 are wide ruled, the lines 11/32 inch apart, which suits 2nd and 3rd grade; page 1 has a red margin line 1 1/4 inches from the left edge, as filler paper does. Pages 3 and 4 are college ruled, 9/32 inch apart, for older students who write smaller. Page 5 is a journal page: a box to draw in, then wide ruled lines.

In the Classroom

Keep a stack of wide ruled paper for writing workshop and math journals, where students explain how they solved a problem in words. The journal page works for science observations: draw what you see, then write about it.

At Home

Use the journal page for a weekend news page: your child draws something they did and writes about it on the lines below.

Tips for Success

  • Wide ruled suits younger writers; college ruled fits more words on a page
  • Start each line just after the margin line
  • Skip a line between paragraphs
  • The blue lines print light gray on a black and white printer
