Our first adventure is designed for first-grade to third-grade reading levels. More levels are planned for the future — sign up for the newsletter and we'll let you know as soon as they're ready!

Your child receives 3 letters each month.

To kick things off, the first two letters arrive together in a trackable USPS package. After that, letters continue arriving one at a time via USPS First-Class Mail, bringing a fun, screen-free surprise to the mailbox.

Your child receives personalized letters from Scout, the detective puppy, filled with stories, mysteries, activities, and challenges that unfold over time. Each letter builds on the last, keeping the adventure exciting and easy to follow.

The stories are written with guidance from teachers to build phonics, sight words, and vocabulary—all while making reading fun and exciting. Children don’t just read the story, they become part of it.

The first two letters are mailed together in a trackable USPS package within 5 business days of your order. Ongoing letters are mailed individually as part of the monthly experience.

Yes! Puppy Pen Pal makes a wonderful gift. Simply enter the child’s name and mailing address at checkout, and we’ll take care of the rest.

Our letters are written for children at a 1st–3rd grade reading level. Each story balances fun adventure with just-right vocabulary, so it’s both engaging and confidence-building.

Not sure if it’s the right fit? If your child is just starting to read, enjoys being read to, or is already reading simple chapter books, they’ll still love it. You can always read the letters together at first — many families treat it as a cozy read-aloud before bedtime.
