Dear Mrs. Smith,
I was a student of yours in Grade Six and I hope that you still remember me. I’m writing this letter because I want to let you know that the school year with you was important and special to me. I know I was very quiet in your class, and you never said much to me. But you did something that made a big difference in my life. You see, all through my first year in school, I hated to read. Books were full of words that had very little to do with me, and I was bored with them. I’ll never forget the first day in Grade Six when you took out a book and began to read a story to our class. Your voice seemed to change with the people in the story, and you drew pictures in my mind as you read aloud. Since that day, I couldn’t wait until after lunch when you would read t o the class again. You read all kinds of wonderful stories to us.
During the summer after my year in your class, I missed hearing the stories you read. So one day, I picked up a book and read it all on my own. I found that I could make the words interesting, too. Now I love reading! Thank you for opening the world of books for me.
Yours,
