Valentine’s Day is the perfect opportunity to craft a letter by hand!

A card and letter—the kind that is written by hand—is a true kindness, a keepsake.

This offering can take many forms. Original poems are little gems that pair perfectly with a sweet Valentine card! Terrific poems start with smart sentences. Read how by clicking through, then encourage your students to practice poetry.

For longer Valentine’s Day messages, our FREE Letter Writing will scaffold the activity each step of the way.

And, when it comes time to putting  an original poem or letter into the polished draft ready for the card itself, check out our Letter Forms activity.

Remember, handwritten sentiment is a beautiful gift!
