Reading Aloud Read the following paragraph until you have learned them by heart. Grandma’s letter began, “Dear Jeffrey, I am leaving you one of my most precious treasures — my memories. These memories are the letters your Grandfather Edwin wrote when he was away from me. Please read them. They are both priceless and valuable — a guidebook that will teach you how to love a woman, how to understand people, and how to respect and maintain your integrity. “When you read them you will share the longing and passion a good man feels for a good woman. You will also understand the fears and tears of war. And you will realize the differences between right and wrong. You will learn to trust the people you love and keep your distance from those you mistrust. You will learn about mature friendships and how true love can become the core of your life.”
