Dear [INSERT NAME OF ADDRESSEE];

We are third year students at ORT School in Buenos Aires. We are writing to tell you about our work within the framework of the Community Service Learn Program and to invite you to speak at a big project event we are planning.

Our school district is trying to improve reading and writing. The Learn Program gives us the chance to be tutors for young students who need help in these tasks. As part of our Language Class with Ms. Duck, we learn about reading strategies and how to help younger students with reading. We then tutor Ms. Dog's 1st year class every week. We do reading games and activities, and we also help students make their own books, which are given to Kindergarten kids.

This is the second year of the project, and so far, students have improved reading levels by 10%. We really like this project because it is fun to work with young children who need our help.

We want to invite you to speak at the big celebration we will have for our project next August 22, at Yatay 240. All the students and teachers from the project will be there. We will speak to everyone abou the importance of reading, service, and citizenship. Please write back or call Ms. Duck and let us know if you can speak at our celebration. We look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,
