How to Use This Pack

Five pages. Page 1 is a model letter with each part named: date, greeting, body, closing and signature, and a reminder about commas. Pages 2 to 5 are letters to write, each with its own prompt and its parts named at the side: a thank-you to a zookeeper, a letter from a pet, an invitation and a pen pal letter.

In the Classroom

Read the model letter aloud and point to each part. Then write a class letter together, perhaps a real thank-you to someone at school. Students can send page 2 or page 5 for real.

At Home

Write a real letter together to a grandparent or friend about a pet or an animal you saw, and mail it. Point out where the commas go.

Tips for Success

  • Start with Dear and the person's name
  • Put a comma after the greeting
  • Tell your news in the body
  • Put a comma after the closing
  • Sign your name
