Let’s go step by step to figure out the parts of a friendly letter.
A friendly letter has 5 main parts:
1.
Heading – This is where you write the date (and sometimes your address, but in this case, just the date).
2.
Greeting – This is how you start the letter, like “Dear Grandma Knight,”
3.
Body – This is the main part of the letter — what you’re writing about. It can be one or more paragraphs.
4.
Closing – This is how you end the letter, like “Love,”
5.
Signature – This is your name written at the end.
Now let’s look at the letter in the worksheet and match each part:
- The top line says:
September 30, 2013 → That’s the
Heading
- Next line:
Dear Grandma Knight, → That’s the
Greeting
- Then there are several lines telling a story about the birthday party and the basketball → That’s the
Body
- Near the bottom:
Love, → That’s the
Closing
- Under that:
Isabella → That’s the
Signature
Also, notice there are two addresses and a stamp area on the left side — those are for the envelope, not part of the letter itself. But since the question asks for the parts *of the letter*, we only care about the 5 parts inside the big box.
So now we fill in the boxes on the right with these labels in order from top to bottom:
Top box → Heading
Second box → Greeting
Third box → Body
Fourth box → Closing
Fifth box → Signature
✔ Final Answer:
Heading
Greeting
Body
Closing
Signature
