Connection is at the heart of letter writing. Dearist helps educators go beyond "the parts of a letter" by starting with the emotional ties. From there, our guidebooks instill the wonder of the mail, using references from history, art, literature, and more. Classroom Packs provide everything needed to support a lesson plan, including stationery and postage stamps so kids can begin writing at the peak of inspiration.

Elementary Pre-K to K1

Dearist is a fantastic resource for teaching both the emotional ties to letter writing and the mechanics of preparing letters for delivery through the postal service. The writing prompts offer jumping-off points for the imagination, as well as a scaffold for students who benefit from structure.

Kid-friendly Instruction and Inspiration

Look Inside

My students typically use their laptops for assignments, so Dearist was a welcomed switch to writing by hand. When they saw the adorable books and illustrations, they wanted to start writing letters immediately! The mind-body connection is so clear with this.
