Activity Alert: Pen Pals!

An old idea is given new dimension through the program in2Books, and I couldn’t be more impressed! Through this program, your child will:

  • Be connected with an online pen pal
  • Select and read the same five books as their pen pal each year
  • Exchange six to ten online letters with their pen pal
  • HAVE FUN!

 

The program was created for classroom use but can be easily adapted for use in your home. Your child can experience an authentic book discussion with an adult beyond you. The in2Books structure can serve as a way to connect readers of any age with a grandparent, other relative, or a friend of the family! However, if you wish to be included, these online letters between your child and the pen pal can travel through your inbox allowing your comments into the discussion.

I am going to try this with my 6 year-old granddaughter, and she’s going to pick our first book! 🙂 Have you tried any similar ways of engaging with others about literature?
