Letters About Literature

The annual Letters About Literature letter writing contest is back! Children in grades 4 - 6 can compete in level 1 by writing a letter to an author about a book that has special meaning to them.

So, all you have to do is find a book that you have strong feelings about. Then write a letter to the book's author explaining why you love the book and why it's so important to you. Remember to speak from the heart and skip any plot summaries. Let the author know how and why their work has touched you.

Submit your letter by December 22, 2010 and you might be a winner!
