Penpals are a fun way to introduce your children to the art of letter writing AND they also offer a great opportunity to teach your child about someone else's culture and traditions!
Amazing Kids! is a non-profit organization that has a legitimate penpal program for children ages 5 - 17 years old. (Finding a legitimate program is very important)
At $10 per child, per pen pal, our program is a low-cost (and fun!) way to help your child practice their literacy skills, while making a new friend. Teachers or groups of 15 or more receive a 50% discount, at just $5 per child. Some scholarships are available; just ask!"

While you are at www.amazing-kids.org to sign up for the penpal program, check out the many contests they have for children 5 - 17 years old. Winners of the contest get published in their monthly publication. How cool is that??
Thanks so much for the shout out, Trisha! We appreciate your support! I hope your readers will sign their children up for our PenPals program. The program has been running since 2005 and kids, parents and teachers all love our program, as it is a traditional letter writing program, so it helps build literacy skills, as well as new friendships. :) Thanks again! Alyse Rome, Founder/President, Amazing Kids!
