Intelligent exercise books for the whole class

• They facilitate writing and calculations
• They contain didactic programmes
• They are sturdier

This new series, produced in collaboration with Fabriano, offers a new concept of exercise book: not just something to write on but a support that allows the entire class, including children with difficulties, to approach writing and calculation, learning curricular content in a more orderly and immediate fashion.

Characteristics of the exercise books:

• each exercise book contains 80 pages in A4 format;
• the paper is thick, to prevent a see-through effect and to make rubbing out easier;
• on each page an arrow indicates correct positioning and direction of writing;
• grids and lines with relaxing colours which do not tire the eyes;
• white guide lines to facilitate writing even for those who are unable to manage squared spaces, and to enable teachers to give clear, targeted instructions;
• each exercise book contains a central cardboard cut-out Maxi page, with a complete didactic programme which covers the main topics of the class programme.

The SUPER EXERCISE BOOK was conceived by Luciana Lenzi and Enrico Angelo Emili (experts in the field of inclusion) and produced in collaboration with Fabriano.
