What a treat to open up your newsletter and read this lovely review of Dearist. From one letter writer to another, thank you for the support Elizabeth (and your readers)!
It was my pleasure, Jenn, and while I do love to support letter writers when I can, I was genuinely impressed and delighted to see your product and learn more about your mission. It’s important!
This is a fabulous story! My fourth grade teacher started every single school day by having us write something. It would be just a few sentences, a poem, a story, etc. She is my favorite teacher of all time. A few years ago a schoolmate found Mrs. Sutherland on Facebook and posted that she was her favorite teacher too. Dozens of my early classmates jumped in declaring the same.
Thank you, Denise! That's such a great testament to the influence and impact of a great teacher. She knew instinctively that not only was writing an important skill, but it gave each of you a chance to express your unique selves.
Thanks for this great input, Nikki -- I agree and love the idea of starting children at an age when they embrace it as fun and appealing. Far too many adults have relegated note writing to the list of obligations instead of realizing they are incredible opportunities to connect with the people in their lives who matter most.
What a delightful post! Knowing this resource exists makes me happy, and what a great gift idea for all the Littles out there! I can attest that all of your subscribers will love your Monthly Action Plan too! It truly is a gift.

I love this post, and I think it's always a great idea to get kids to write letters. It's exciting!
This comment means so much to me, JarieLyn because "It's exciting!" is exactly how I felt when I first saw the Dearist product.
I remember hearing about that first class in Atlanta. It was an excellent start to reminding us that writing by hand is good for us!

I wear my writer’s bump proudly!
Always and forever a huge fan of children writing letters! Love this post!
Thank you, Shannon! You are a kindred spirit!

Thank you so, so much, Lisa. That's exactly how I felt when I first realized what a well-designed resource this was.
