Strengthen writing skills and family ties with a newsletter

Are your relatives far away? Your child can keep everyone updated on family activities while building writing skills by putting together a family newsletter. Have your elementary schooler write letters or emails to ask relatives for news, family stories and photos. Then your child can use a computer at home or at the library to compile their replies. Your student will gain keyboarding, writing and layout skills, and the joy of keeping the family connected.
