Grade 3 · Writing · Lesson 25

Write Letters and Friendly Emails

A letter or email is one of the most useful things you will ever write — because it is writing with a real audience and a real purpose. You are not writing for a grade or an exercise; you are writing to another human being who will read your words, feel something, and respond. That changes everything.

What this lesson teaches

4Match tone and sign-off to the audience — casual for peers, respectful for teachers or adults
5Identify what sets a friendly email apart from a letter, including the subject line
