Matching Kids to Books discussion

How many of you have had your students write to authors? Were any of the authors responsive? Have you ever written to an author?

This is great way to connect kids to the real people behind the stories. Years ago it required hand written letters and stamps, but today it is simplified on the computer. Consider visiting your favorite author's websites. I also recommend this book, great with uppergrades as a springboard for writing to authors.
