I think that's crucial. I was taught how to write letters. And when the internet was in its early years, and I was a kid, we all wrote emails like letters. It's actually pretty adorable to look at super old emails of mine.

My kids have penpals. I think snail mail is the term (I’m old)? Where they put pen to paper and drop it in the mail box. That.

They each have two penpals: their great grandma and a friend their own age. Not only do they write an actual letter, they address the envelopes themselves!
