Dear teacher,
I was a student of yours in Grade Six, and I hope you still remember me. I'm 1 this letter because I want to let you know that the school year with you was important and special to me.
I know I 2 be very quiet in your class, and you never said much to me. But you did something that made a big 3 in my life. You see, all through my first year in schools, I hated to read. Books were just words that had 4 to do with me, and I felt bored while reading them. I'll never 5 the first day of Grade Six when you took out a thick book and began to read the story to our class. It 6 that your voice changed with the people in the story, and you drew pictures in my mind as you read 7. Since that day, I always waited for the time that you read to the class. You 8 us all kinds of wonderful stories.
During the summer after my year in your class, I 9 the stories you read. So one day I picked up a book and read it all by myself. I found out that I could make the words 10, too. Now, I love to read! Thank you for opening the world of books for me.
Yours,
Linda
