Which Mead notebook rule is right for my student?
Wide ruled is standard for kindergarten through about fourth grade. College ruled is used from middle school through college. Quad ruled, like the Mead quad-ruled wireless notebook, is for math and science. Teacher supply lists usually name the rule, so match it exactly.
What size Mead envelope do I need for letter-size documents?
A 9x12 clasp or Press-It Seal-It envelope holds letter-size (8.5x11) pages flat. Choose 10x13 for thicker stacks, folders or presentation covers. For folded letters and checks, the #6 3/4 security envelope with a printed inside pattern keeps contents private.
Do Mead Press-It Seal-It envelopes need to be moistened?
No. Press-It Seal-It envelopes have a peel-off strip over a permanent adhesive flap, so you press to seal with no moisture or tape. Clasp envelopes, by contrast, use a metal clasp and gummed flap and can be reopened for reuse.
Are Mead Learn To Letter books good for kindergarten?
