An easy-to-understand but comprehensive guide to letter writing explains how to create personalized stationery, address envelopes correctly, and compose thank-you notes, letters of condolence, business letters, and other types of correspondence.

Reviews

Grade 4-8-- This user-friendly guide is both straightforward and specific. The text is divided into "Personal Letters" and "Business Letters," with subsections on writing thank yous, apologies, condolences, invitations, complaints, requests, opinions, etc. Written in the second person, the content is clear and the style is informal, only occasionally resorting to chatty slang. Providing general guidelines and rationale for each type of letter, the authors also give plenty of examples that students will find useful. They frequently mention the value and importance of written communication and include ideas to make writing more fun, such as round-robin letters for family members or groups of friends. Standard abbreviations, forms of address, and pen-pal guides are appended. Almost anyone can find a few worthwhile suggestions here to improve their letters or notes. --Rosie Peasley, Empire Union School District, Modesto, CA
