Writing Letters

We are practicing writing letters in room 5. Students are using the basic friendly letter format.

The date here

The Greeting (Dear.......),

The body goes in the middle.

The closing goes here. (Sincerely,)

Name goes here

Practice letter wriitng with your child. Write them a letter using this format and have them write you back. Or have them write a relative that lives outside of the house. Knowing they may get mail is a great incentive to write. You may also want to buy them a diary and show them how to write (Dear Diary -style). The more they practice writing the better they get. This is also a great chance to practice neat handwriting.
