Letter writing

There is a skill to writing a formal letter and our English teaching resources will help your children develop it!

Whether children are writing a letter of complaint, a persuasive letter or a thank you letter, there are certain features of formal letters they must include, such as formal language, the recipient’s address and an appropriate sign-off.

Our collection of primary school letter writing resources includes templates, writing frames, letter examples and worksheets for key stage 1 and key stage 2 for both formal and informal letter writing.
