Tinted exercise books are school books that use coloured paper instead of traditional white pages. The softer background can help reduce glare and visual stress, making reading and writing activities more comfortable for children who find bright white paper difficult. At EPSL, our personalised exercise books are available with tinted paper options, so you can choose the paper colour that best suits your pupils.
Tinted Exercise Books
Every child learns differently, and when it comes to education, there's no single method or material that works for everyone. This is especially true for children with Special Educational Needs (SEN), where the right tools can make a real difference in focus, understanding, and confidence. One of the simplest and most effective changes is switching from white to tinted paper.
For many children with Dyslexia, ADHD, Dyscalculia, Irlen Syndrome, and Dyspraxia, working with bright white paper can be a struggle. The glare from white pages can be uncomfortable or even painful and may cause words to blur, move, or become harder to follow. This can lead to eye strain, visual stress, and mental fatigue – all of which make reading and writing more difficult than they need to be. Tinted paper reduces these distractions, creating a calmer, more accessible, and more comfortable learning experience.

Coloured Paper For Dyslexia
At EPSL, we offer our personalised exercise books in a choice of subtle, soothing colours such as cream, blue, green, and pink – all carefully selected to suit different visual needs. These softer tones help reduce glare and overstimulation, improve page contrast between writing and background, and decrease visual stress, creating a learning environment that feels more manageable and less overwhelming.
The benefits go beyond comfort. Children using coloured paper often find it easier to track lines of text, which can improve reading speed and flow. It also supports better handwriting presentation, increased focus, and reduced fatigue – especially for those with sensory or light sensitivity issues. For many children, this simple change makes reading and writing a more enjoyable and rewarding experience.
At EPSL, we make it easy to personalise your exercise books to suit your pupils' needs. You can choose the paper colour, ruling, and layout, and even add your school's branding. This flexibility helps you create tailored educational supplies that remove unnecessary barriers and give every student the opportunity to learn in a way that works for them.
