Scout Writes Back – Pen Pal Method-
Bring the joy of letter writing to life with Scout, your child’s fluffy purple pen pal!
Using Dear Adil to Teach Pragmatic Language: Oral and Written Milestones in Context
PBS KIDS’ Arthur game and episode Dear Adil https://pbskids.org/arthur/games/dear-adil provide an ideal framework for teaching pragmatic language!
In the story, Arthur writes letters to his pen pal Adil in Turkey, asking questions about his life, daily activities, and culture. Through this exchange, children see how curiosity, respect, and perspective-taking build friendships across cultures.
When paired with ASHA’s developmental milestones, Dear Adil can be used to highlight both oral and written pragmatic skills, showing the natural progression from early conversation skills to more advanced written communication.
This resource keeps kids motivated to write through authentic, playful exchanges.
