Let's Write for Different Purposes

There are 4 pages of colour flashcards giving examples of reasons children might write e.g. a letter to Grandma, a party invitation and Valentine’s card. Each page shows 6 reasons to write.

There are also examples of letters that could be received such as an invoice, a bill and an appointment.

Cut out the cards and you could add to the writing area or table or use as a lesson in itself for writing for different reasons.

The first worksheet shows reasons to write around the edge and has a writing frame in the centre. Children could use this to make notes on their choices or to write simple sentences.
