New York State Elementary Test Prep- ELA 4- PreK

Here is a song that you could use to help teach students the parts of a letter:
(to the tune of The Bear Went Over the Mountain)

First, you write the heading, the heading, the heading.
First, you write the heading: the month, the day, the year.

Next, you write the greeting, the greeting, the greeting.
Next, you write the greeting: you start it off with "Dear."

Then, you write the body, the body, the body.
Then, you write the body: you ask and tell some things.

Then, you write the closing, the closing, the closing.
Then, you write the closing: "Your friend" or "I like you."

Last, you sign your name, your name, your name.
Last, you sign your name; and then your letter's through!
