Dear ______________, Hello from [school/district/organization]!
Think back to your youth. Imagine growing up without the guidance of a teacher, coach, or team captain helping you achieve your most desired goals. How might your life have turned out di erently? The positive influences you encountered while growing up provided you with the insight, skills, and discipline you needed to succeed. We would like to invite you to participate in a new and exciting program that will o er kids in your community the same opportunities that the caring adults and peers gave you as a youth. Our district has adopted Scholastic R.E.A.L.—Read. Excel. Achieve. Lead.—a proven, successful program devoted to inspiring and building the literacy skills of our children while pairing them with mentors who are willing to share their love for reading for an hour [each month/every other month]. Research shows that reading out loud to a child is the single most important thing a caring adult can do to nurture a child’s reading and learning skills. Scholastic R.E.A.L. includes top-quality books for read-alouds as well as easy-to-use book guides for mentors, complete with built-in conversation starters individualized for each book. As a R.E.A.L. mentor, your participation will have a genuine and positive e ect on children’s lives. Your can help reduce the number of kids who are disconnected from school while improving their social and economic outcomes by contributing to our school community. I would like to talk with you more about how we can build powerful, e ective partnerships and facilitate a meaningful and rewarding endeavor for your [company/organization] and our community’s youth. I will follow up soon with a call to your o ce. Sincerely, Name Title School/district/organization Email address and phone number
