How to Write a Letter to a Friend ~ Templates {Spring}
- PDF
What educators are saying
Description
Are you teaching your students or your child how to write a letter to a friend? These seasonal friendly letter templates are scaffolded in order to help the students remember all of the parts of a friendly letter. Also, the lines are shortened in places so that the students can see the spatial aspects of the form of a letter.
I often ask the students to write a letter to a friend to be sent in the school-wide mail system. Now that the students are separated from their friends during this social distancing season, it is important to give students the opportunity to write a letter to your friend or to your family members.
The specific words on the letter writing paper coincide with Dr. Jean’s song, “The Parts of a Letter”. We sing it together as a class and act out the motions. It is sung to the tune of, “Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes.”
This set includes:
p. 4 -18 ~ friendly letter frames with scaffolding in 10 different Spring designs {Five are more “jazzed up”.}
p. 20 - 34 ~ friendly letter frames without scaffolding in 10 different Spring designs {Five are more “jazzed up”.}
p. 35 - 38 ~ Address lines and fold lines that can be copied on the backs of the letters {There are 4 different choices that have coordinating "stamps"}
Please see the preview for pictures of the resources included for teaching how to write a letter for a friend.
Have fun learning how to write a letter to a friend and sending the letter through the mail in the old-fashioned way!
