Ensuring Your Student Brings the Best Tools to School

(Family Features) The start of the new school year means it’s time to fill out those shopping lists with must-haves that help ensure your student’s transition back into the classroom is successful.

From the youngest students learning to write to the upperclassmen crafting analytical essays, writing instruments are proven to be a key driver of classroom success. These tools include wood case pencils and markers for younger students and mechanical pencils, pens and highlighters for older students. Pencils have not changed much over the last decade, but there are some new innovations in pens, along with some tried and true favorites, that are excellent choices for back-to-school.
