Written Anything Good Lately?

by Susan Allen

Have you ever thought about all the different types of writing you can do? You may write papers for school and e-mails to your friends. Some of you might enjoy writing stories and poems. Communicating through writing can take many forms. This book will show you twenty-six of them – one for each letter of the alphabet. In school you could write to answer Questions on a Quiz, prepare a Report on the Rainforest, or create a Sensational Speech for Social Studies. After school you might write a Long Letter to a pen pal in London, a Newsletter for the Nature club, or a Play to Put on for your Parents. You could even write a book like this one, making up your own list of 26 more ways to communicate with words!
