28 letter-writing worksheets with accompanying teachers’ notes in a 67-page PDF, for KS4 students of low to average ability. Includes general teaching guidance, supporting appendices and original historical curriculum reference pages.

Practical situations build correspondence skills, from choosing a formal or informal style, layout and envelopes to interpreting information and writing extended letters. Tasks cover occasions such as invitations, congratulations and job applications, as well as choices between writing and other forms of communication.

Use individual worksheets to target a particular difficulty or work through the pack as a letter-writing course. Later tasks develop information sorting, analysis, judgement, appropriate response and clear expression. Teachers’ notes include aims, classroom-management advice, preparation, differentiation and extension activities where relevant.
