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.
