KEYPAL PROJECTS Penpals are people  who regularly write friendly letters to each other but they never meet.  At school, it is often used to practice  reading  and  writing  in other language, to improve  literacy , to learn more about other  cultures This is cheaper, easier and faster: so, it allows children to write and read more. Key pal projects may be used just for  communication  but also teachers can enrich the project designing a  webquest  which must be done by two keypals exchanging information about their cultures ,[object Object],[object Object]
