Book Cover & Preview Text
Dear Children Everywhere,
It is never too late to begin your letter writing, but the younger you begin, the easier it is to write a letter.
Begin to write letters to relatives and friends when you can write the letters of the alphabet. At this time, ask your mother, father, or older sister or brother to spell the words of your letter so that you can write them.
When you begin to read, then you can spell your own words.
It is fun writing letters, and most of all, the person who receives your letter will be happy.

About the Book
Jimmy and Johnny are twin brothers. The brothers are five years old now, and they know how to read and write the alphabet. This year Jimmy and Johnny’s mommy wants them to begin writing letters to their loved ones and friends all by themselves. With a little practice, they learn that writing can be fun!
Help your children practice reading as you teach them the joy and importance of writing letters. Show them that writing letters is enjoyable—and most of all—it makes the people who receive the letters happy.
