English
This Grade 6 English worksheet helps students identify the five parts of a friendly letter: heading, greeting, body, closing, and signature. Across 14 questions—13 multiple-choice items and one multiple-select item—students match examples such as dates, salutations, sign-offs, names, and the writer’s message to the correct letter part. They also review who typically receives a friendly letter, recognize correct capitalization and punctuation in greetings and closings, and identify features that do not belong in this letter format. Use this free printable worksheet to reinforce friendly-letter structure and check whether students can distinguish closely related parts, such as a greeting from a closing or a signature from the body. It works well for Grade 6 English practice, review, or formative assessment after instruction on personal letter writing. A complete answer key is included for efficient checking and feedback.

This Grade 6 worksheet covers the five parts of a friendly letter: heading, greeting, body, closing, and signature. Its 14 multiple-choice and multiple-select questions ask students to identify each part from examples, recall that the body contains the writer’s message, and recognize correct greeting and closing punctuation.
Introduce the five-part structure by having students locate the date, salutation, message, sign-off, and writer’s name in a model friendly letter. Then use the worksheet’s example-based questions to discuss why “Dear Frank,” is a greeting, “Sincerely,” is a closing, and a date such as “September 12, 2018” is a heading. Review the items together and ask students to explain the role of each part.
Students may confuse the greeting, closing, and signature because all appear near the beginning or end of a letter; remind them that the greeting addresses the recipient, the closing signs off, and the signature names the writer. Watch for missed capitalization and commas in examples such as “Dear Frank,” and “Sincerely,” and for students choosing a date as anything other than the heading. On the multiple-select item, check that students identify the body as the main or largest part of the letter.
The Friendly Letter worksheet is available as a printable PDF and as a digital quiz on Wayground, with a complete answer key for all 14 questions.
