Friendly Letter Writing about Reading Strategy

Dear Third Graders,
     Please write me a friendly letter about a book that you are reading this week.  Be sure to include the 5 parts of a friendly letter, a short summary of the book, and examples of your reading strategy.  You should also focus on using correct conventions.  I look forward to reading your letters.


                                                                      Sincerely,
                                                                       Mr. D.

dear Mr Degraff,


I am reading scumble. By Ingid Law.
It is about a kid when he turns 13 he gets a power and he finds out that it is breaking things. I am not done with the book so I do not know what will happen next. I am in the story element group and one problem is that when they are driving in the car things brake. The solution is they had to fix things.

Sincerely,
Logan
