✉️ How to Put an Address on an Envelope
Introduction
Sending a letter is like sending a little surprise to a friend. To make sure the surprise gets to the right place, we need to write the address on the envelope. Let’s learn how!
1. Who Gets the Letter? – The Inside Part
- Name – Write the person’s name first.
- Street – This is the road where they live (e.g., “Sunny Street”).
- House Or Apartment Number – The number of the house or flat (e.g., “12”).
- Town Or City – The town or city name.
- Postcode – A short group of letters and numbers that helps the mail find the exact spot.
Think of it like a treasure map: the name is the treasure, the street and number are the path, and the postcode is the X that shows the spot!
2. Where to Write It – The Outside Part
- Put the address in the Middle Of The Envelope, not too close to the edges.
- Write it Neatly so the mail‑people can read it easily.
- Use Big, Clear Letters – block letters work best for young hands.
3. Adding Your Return Address – The Back Part
- In the top left corner, write Your Own Name And Address.
- This tells the mail where to go if the letter can’t be delivered.
- It’s like leaving a “home base” for the letter.
4. Stamp Time!
- Stick a Stamp in the top right corner.
- The stamp is the “ticket” that pays for the journey.
- Imagine the stamp as a tiny airplane that will fly the letter far away.
