Making Writing Relevant

by Writing a Family Newsletter

A JIGGLING BLOB

by Jasmine, age 13

Boaz was looking into his mouth in the mirror. After some remarks he stated, chuckling, "I've got a red blob hanging in front of my throat!"

He turned back to the mirror, and between bursts of laughter, added, "And it jiggles when I laugh!"

You probably have humorous events like this happen in your home. Turn them into newsletter tidbits to share with grandparents!

We believe writing a family newsletter is a fun way to get your children to enjoy writing.

COMMENTS FROM A CUSTOMER

Note from a customer who purchased our “Writing a Family Newsletter” ebook.

IDEAS

“The newsletter ebook gave me good ideas as I wrote our first ever Christmas letter though I don't have the software for newspaper style layout. I did hear through my mother in England that my aunt there was really impressed with the letter!

IMPRESS THE FAMILY

Also my fil in VT, an IBM engineer who is hard to impress, couldn't say enough good things about it. So I'm encouraged to get even more creative next time!

HUMOUR INSPIRES

The best part was my children looking over your family newsletter excerpts and chuckling and seeing how fun it is to write down everyday events.”
