This book is not a storybook per se, although the illustrations do suggest things going on in some of the kids' lives. This is a how-to book about writing both personal and business letters. It is clear, specific, and helpful, and I truly love it as a genre-study book about letters for kids. In the back, it even gives some great ideas for how to practice writing letters in your every day life. Why is it a 4-star and not a 5-star? There is not a single child of color in the book. They are all white kids, and the illustrations are careful to represent every hair color and eye color that white kids can have, but that's where the representation ends.

Relevankah membaca panduan menulis surat? Susah nak jawab dalam era Internet yang laju dan komunikasi sudah tidak melalui surat lagi. Namun menulis surat sama ada secara fizikal atau dalam bentuk e-mel masih ada tatacaranya. Ramai dah lupa terutama ketika menghantar e-mel.

Surat rasmi merangkumi hal berkaitan urusan rasmi yang mempunyai format berbeza dengan surat tak rasmi. Buku ini menjelaskan dengan mudah berserta contoh yang mudah difahami.

Surat tidak rasmi walaupun formatnya tidak begitu ketat, isinya perlu diteliti dan disusun kerana ia menggambarkan peribadi penulisnya.

Baca buku ini terus rasa nak menulis surat kepada sahabat. :)

A guide to how to write letters both to people you know well and those you've never met.

I really like that this includes instructions of how to adapt either form of letter for email format. It makes this that much more relevant for today's world. It also includes instructions for how to address an envelope, which is a skill not as frequently used and therefore easily overlooked for kids. A great introduction to letter writing with fantastic examples. I can definitely see language arts classes using this for letter writing units.

This is an incredibly detailed, fact-filled children's book. Sincerely Yours: Writing Your Own Letter, could be used in so many classrooms all over the country! Written by Nancy Loewen, this informational book takes the reader step-by-step through the process of writing different types of letter. The book starts out by acknowledging the fact that today mostly electronic forms of communication have "taken over" for pencil and paper. They continue to encourage the reader to learn how to write different types of letter for different purposes.

The reader will learn how to write a friendly letter, write thank-you notes, business letters, and how to address an envelope correctly.

I would recommend this book to grades three through fifth. You would definitely need to break this book down by different types of letters. The book is so dense that you could not go through it in one sitting; nor should you. It has an incredible way of breaking down letter writing to make it easy and simple. I would highly recommend this book!
