Product Information

Full details

The Silvine A5+ Green Paper Dyslexia Notebook is designed for SEN supportive learners and anyone experiencing visual stress when reading or writing. Its primary benefit is reducing eye strain and enhancing focus through its unique green-tinted paper and subtly fading lines, serving as an effective memory aid. A potential consideration is its slightly larger than standard A5 size, which might affect compatibility with some existing A5 accessories. Key features include dyslexia-friendly green paper, 80gsm weight, lined with margin ruling, wire binding for flat-lay, punch holes, and micro-perforations.

FAQs

What makes this notebook suitable for dyslexia?

The notebook features specially tinted green paper designed to reduce visual stress and glare, which can significantly benefit individuals with dyslexia or other visual processing sensitivities. The subtle ruling also helps prevent distractions.

Is the paper suitable for fountain pens?

The 80gsm paper offers a good writing experience for most pens, including many fountain pens. However, performance can vary with ink type and pen nib size. For very wet inks, minor ghosting or bleed-through may occur.

Can I remove pages easily for filing?

Yes, the pages have micro-perforations and punch holes, allowing them to be neatly torn out and filed into standard A5 binders or folders. The removed pages are full A5 size.

How many pages does the notebook contain?

The notebook contains 100 pages.

What are the exact dimensions of the notebook?

The finished notebook dimensions are approximately 212 mm x 159.5 mm.

Will the green paper be distracting for non-dyslexic users?

Many users find the green paper reduces overall eye strain, even if they do not have dyslexia. The subtle nature of the tint aims to be calming rather than distracting.

How durable is the wire binding?

The twin wire binding is robust and designed to allow the notebook to lay flat. It is intended for regular use, but care should be taken to avoid excessive force or snagging.

Troubleshooting

Pages are difficult to tear cleanly from micro-perforations.

Gently fold the page along the perforation line before tearing. Ensure you are tearing from the correct edge (usually the side closest to the wire binding).

Ink is bleeding through the paper.

While the 80gsm paper is high quality, very wet inks may show through slightly. Try using a different pen or allow ink to dry fully before turning the page. Consider using a blotter sheet.

Wire binding is bent or damaged.

Gently try to straighten minor bends with pliers. For significant damage, continued use may be difficult.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Reduces visual stress and eye strain for users with dyslexia or visual sensitivities.
  • Improves focus and clarity by making handwriting stand out against the background.
  • Durable wire binding allows the notebook to lay flat for comfortable writing.
  • Convenient features like punch holes and micro-perforations simplify page removal and filing.
  • Generous 100 pages provide ample writing space.

Cons

  • The green paper may not be preferred by all users.
  • Slightly larger than standard A5 size may not fit all A5-sized pouches or folders perfectly.
  • Wire binding can occasionally catch on other items in a bag if not protected.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This notebook requires no setup. It is ready to use straight out of packaging.

Compatibility:

  • Paper Size: While designated A5+, it is slightly larger than a standard A5 (approx. 212 x 159.5 mm). Removed pages are full A5 size and designed to fit standard A5 binders and folders.
  • Writing Instruments: Compatible with most pens, pencils, markers, and highlighters. For best results with very wet inks (like some fountain pens or markers), allow a moment for drying.

Care:

  • Storage: Store in a dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve paper quality and color.
  • Cleaning: If the cover or pages get dirty, wipe gently with a clean, slightly damp cloth. Avoid excessive moisture or harsh cleaning agents.
  • Wire Binding: Be mindful of the wire binding to prevent snagging or bending.
