Write a Letter to the Editor

Children are invited to voice their opinion about an issue that is important to them with this letter-writing prompt and template. Children will first brainstorm ideas for a letter topic, then use the template on page 2 to draft a letter that they can send to the editor-in-chief of their local paper. Designed for third graders, this worksheet offers a supportive framework for students as they practice writing an opinion about a topic that is personally meaningful to them.
