Subject: Student Writing Skills Deterioration

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am Vidhi, residing at B/66 Mall Road, Guwahati, and a concerned parent of a Grade X student. I am writing to address the concerning decline in students' writing skills, primarily due to over-reliance on digital platforms. This impacts their critical thinking and creative expression.

To remedy this, schools should promote consistent handwriting practice, host creative writing contests, and incorporate dedicated reading time into the daily schedule. These actions will enhance vocabulary, comprehension, and communication abilities.

I trust this matter will receive due consideration via your publication.

Sincerely,
Vidhi
