But why letter writing?

Learning to write a letter holds significant value in today's fast-paced digital world. It allows for a more personal connection in communication, something that is often missing in emails and text messages. 

Through the thoughtful process of composing a letter, one can effectively develop strong written communication skills, which are vital for both academic and professional success. Writing letters also offers a unique space to express deeper emotions and thoughts, helping to foster more meaningful connections with others. 

Beyond just communication, the process of writing and decorating a letter encourages creativity and allows for individual expression. Additionally, letter writing teaches the etiquette of formal communication, an important skill for various life situations. Lastly, engaging in this art form helps cultivate an appreciation for historical modes of communication, connecting us with past generations.
