This worksheet guides students through understanding how to tailor their writing for specific audiences. Initially, students receive an overview of why it's essential to consider the reader when writing. They then practice this skill by composing two distinct paragraphs aimed at different audiences: one for a friend and another for their principal.

When we write, it's like conversing with someone. It's important to think about who will be reading our writing because we want to make sure we say things in a way that makes sense to them and is enjoyable. As you talk differently to your teacher than your best friend, writing should change depending on who reads it.
