Students encouraged to submit ‘Letters About Literature’

Posted

The deadline for fourth through 12th grade students to enter Wyoming’s Letters About Literature Writing Contest arrives on Jan. 9. Students can win Amazon gift cards of up to $150.

“To enter, read a book that inspires you or gives you a new way to see the world,” said Susan Mark, Wyoming State Library outreach librarian. “It can be one you’ve just picked up, or one you’ve read before. Then write a letter to the author — living or dead — to share how the book affected your life.”

Both classroom and individual entries are welcome. A teaching guide is available that provides activities and addresses how the program can dovetail with curriculum for teaching reading and writing. Ready-to-print posters to promote the contest are available on the Wyoming State Library website at http://library.wyo.gov/letters.

Questions may be directed to Susan at susan.mark@wyo.gov or (307) 777-5915 or to Cary Dunlap at cary.dunlap1@wyo.gov or (307) 777-6338.
