This is such a great way to experience a story! I wish I could give it more than 5 stars! It blends excellent storytelling with old-school charm. This service is absolutely worth it.

Build Confidence Quietly

When kids choose to read, they’re practicing comprehension and vocabulary without pressure. They get better at it and feel more confident. That’s an upward spiral that doesn’t require nagging.

Reading Helps Them Make Sense of Themselves
Stories let children try on feelings and decisions safely. They see characters struggle, mess up, recover, and grow. That emotional rehearsal matters, when everything feels unsure and slightly dramatic.

It’s a Break Their Brain Needs
Fun reading isn’t “extra work.” It’s recovery. It lowers stress, sparks imagination, and gives their mind a calm place to land. Think of it as mental fresh air.

A Pen Friend That Grows With Your Reader

A tale unfolds and characters grow with each opened letter. Independence, confidence, kindness, and courage are all naturally woven in as your reader simply enjoys a story they can relate to.

More Than Just A Story
Children don’t just read stories, they absorb them. Well-written characters show what courage, persistence, and integrity look like in action. Young readers benefit from watching characters face tough choices, stumble and recover.

More Time Together

Reading together isn’t about books. It’s bonding one page at a time around a skill that will serve them their entire life.

Moments That Last Forever
Give your reader the give of downtime. Screens disappear and a story comes to life in their imagination. Years from now, when they no longer remember worksheets, they’ll remember this.

Snail Mail Magic
You don’t know the exact day it will arrive, but you know it’s coming! A letter shows up unexpectedly, and suddenly there’s something to pause for. You sit down together and read the next chapter side by side. A core memory in the making…

“This is the story I wanted to read when I was growing up. Honest feelings, real challenges, relatable characters, and a surprise ending that makes us believe anything can happen if we believe in ourselves.”

Letters by Mail

After you ADD TO CART, CHECK OUT and pay one time for the year-long adventure.

Once you receive your first letter, letters are mailed every other week for one year.

Read and enjoy! Delight in this unplugged time with Pen Friend Letters.
