Teaching guide

Write with a recipient in mind

A letter writing worksheet gives students space to address a reader and share what they discovered about a topic. Writers can organize a greeting, message and closing, then reread the letter from the recipient’s point of view.

This is a student-authored writing activity. For passage comprehension about letters, notices or other functional texts, choose an appropriate reading passage.

Give the message a clear purpose

Before drafting, decide who will receive the letter and what the writer wants to tell them. Students can select relevant facts, ask a question or describe a discovery, then check that the message has a natural order.

A postcard worksheet offers a shorter message format, and writing prompts can help students choose a response topic.

Choose a topic prompt from the examples

Each example uses an available theme or real-world place as a starting point. The template may not be enabled for every source, so check the published list before planning a class activity.
