Whether you're getting the kids ready for a new school year or picking up a few books for notes at home, you'll find everything you need in one place.

Find the right exercise book for every subject

The right exercise book comes down to the subject, the school's book list and how your kids like to work. Here's what to keep in mind before you choose.

Choose the right exercise book page style

Lined pages suit English, history and most written subjects, while grid pages make it easier to line up numbers and draw graphs in maths and science. Plain pages give kids room to sketch, map and brainstorm in art, geography and project work. Check each product page for the page style, size and number of pages.

Check the school book list for exercise books

Many schools share a book list with the exact sizes, page counts and quantities needed for each year level, so it's handy to have it with you while you shop. Grab a few spare books too, as kids often fill them faster than expected during the year. If the list asks for a particular line spacing or size, check the product details to find a match.

Keep exercise books organised all year

Label each exercise book with a name and subject as soon as you bring it home, then cover it to keep it looking neat. Using a different colour for each subject makes it quick for kids to grab the right book in the morning. Store school books together on a shelf or in a magazine file so homework time gets off to a quick start.

Pair exercise books with school supplies

Keep books looking fresh with our book coverings, and fill a pencil case with our pens and pencils. For other subjects, explore our subject books, or browse the full range of exercise, binder and subject books.

Exercise books FAQs

What's the difference between an exercise book and a subject book?

Exercise books are usually slimmer and used for everyday class work, while subject books often have more pages to keep a whole term or year of notes for one subject together. Check your school's book list to see which one is needed.

Which exercise book page style is right for maths?

Grid pages are a great choice for maths, as the squares help kids line up numbers, set out sums neatly and draw graphs and shapes.

How many exercise books do I need for school?

It depends on the year level and the school's book list. Buy what's listed, then add a few spares for subjects that use more pages through the year.

How do I cover an exercise book?

Measure and cut your book covering a little larger than the open book, peel off the backing if it's adhesive, then smooth it on from the spine outwards and fold the edges inside the cover.
