Product Description
Mead 63130 Wirebound Ruled Index Cards keep a full deck of 3 in. x 5 in. cards bound together in one top-wired book, so nothing scatters in a backpack, a purse, or the back of a desk drawer. Each card is ruled on the front and blank on the back, and a perforation just below the wire lets you tear a card free at full 3 in. x 5 in. size when you need to hand it off or file it.
Why a Bound Book Instead of Loose Cards
Loose index cards spread out, fall out of order, and end up with bent corners. A wirebound book keeps all 50 cards in sequence and lets you flip through them one-handed. Buyers report using it as a running phone and address list, a pocket to-do book, a recipe reference, and a study set that only gets torn apart when the flash cards are finally needed.
Card Stock and Writing Surface
The cards are noticeably heavier than notebook paper, which is what lets them hold up to repeated handling, erasing, and rewriting. Reviewers consistently note that pen and marker do not strike through to the blank back, so both sides of every card stay usable.
A Note on Card Size
Mead lists a sheet size of 3-1/2 in. x 5 in. That measurement includes the narrow bound header above the perforation. Once you tear a card out along the perforation, you are left with a standard 3 in. x 5 in. index card that fits ordinary card files and boxes.

Instructions
To create study flashcards: write a single question, term, or vocabulary word on one side of the card and the matching answer, definition, or formula on the lined reverse. Shuffle the stack and quiz yourself by reading the front, recalling the answer, and flipping the card to check. Sort the cards into two piles as you go, one for items you answered correctly and one for items to review again. Cycle the review pile back through the deck until every card has been answered correctly.
