#38 Dear Bear

Form follows function when it comes to letter writing. Dear Bear, by Joanna Harrison, taps into common experiences and feelings your students have likely had. I also love it for how it exposes students to the many purposes behind writing a letter. From making requests, to asking questions, to extending an invitation - letters are an important form of communication our students need to master.
