What is the difference between a composition notebook and a primary composition notebook?

Answer 1

Yes. A composition notebook has that fuzzy-tv, black & white color and says "Composition Book" on it. A wirebound notebook has circular wires binding it together and usually has pages that are three hole punched. The two may usually be found in the same section of a store.

A composition notebook is sometimes known as a marble notebook because of the black and white marbleized cardboard cover. It is bound with string(?) and the pages are not easily ripped out.

A spiral notebook or wirebound is just that - bound with a spiral wire. The teachers I had in school disliked the ratty edges resulting from tearing the paper from this type of notebook. Some spiral wirebound notebooks have perforation so that those pesky paper remnants are no longer a problem.

Answer 2

Composition Notebooks are the regular notebooks having Black marble cover with wide margin ruling, 100 pages or so. These are usually used in higher grades maybe 4th grade upwards.

The Primary Composition notebooks are having Black marbled cover too , are used for K-1, 2nd & 3rd grades. they were only 50 pages, have a blank line between the dotted lined writing area . The top half of the page is usually blank so that the children can draw/paste pictures and in the bottom half they can write about the pictures /drawings.

Instead of the Black Marbled ones , now these are available in different colored covers.
