Having an authentic audience make children to be more careful about their writing, because they want to communicate effectively.
“Letters are written to communicate with a specific and important audience, children think more carefully about what they want to say, write more legibly, and are more inclined to use spelling, capitalization, and punctuation conventions conventions correctly.”(Tompkins, p,130.)
“Letter writing is an art. A well-written letter is a always a pleasure to read. Writing a letter is about conveying a message. Letter writing is much different from other kind of writing. The context can be casual or formal. There are other essentials to be noted as to whom the letter is addressed and if there is any tone required in the language. The flow of thoughts has to be continual.”(www.indianchild.com)
