How to switch out the Wire binding for Spiral Coil binding in TGTB curriculum books

Hate the wire binding but still want to use the course books printed by TGTB and wish you could make them easier to handle? Me too! I've decided to try the plastic spiral coil binding instead and want to show you how I'm doing it in case you're ready to try something different too.

Now this wire binding seems to be a common complaint because TGTB is switching over to Perfect Bound type of binding in many areas including the new Language Arts Level 3 and the Wind and Waves Unit from the Little Hearts and Hands science line among previous things released with the Perfect Bound binding such as the Simply Good and Beautiful Math line and the US Constitution Unit.
HOWEVER, most Language Arts course books out there right now still have this binding so here's an option if you are ready to ditch the wire.
