Dear ______________, I’m reaching out to you from [school/district/organization] with a simple yet impactful opportunity for your [employees/members]. Our [school/school district] is seeking community members to spend one hour [each month/every other month] reading aloud to children [in classrooms], discussing books and the real-life issues within. Mentorship of this nature has far-reaching e ects on children’s literacy skills—and beyond. Mentoring o ers solutions that address community challenges, such as graduation rates, juvenile crime, higher-education enrollment, and workforce development. Your participation can have a broad impact on the community. Our district has adopted an exciting program called Scholastic R.E.A.L.—Read. Excel. Achieve. Lead. This proven, successful program includes high-quality books as well as easy-to use book guides for mentors, complete with built-in conversation starters individualized for each book. The only missing part is YOU! 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. Through R.E.A.L. mentorship, your participation will have a genuine and positive e ect on children’s lives, while connecting your [organization/institution] to the 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
