Dear Ms. Tinklepaugh,

My name is Ashlynn Young and I am a Special Education intern from Geneva College. I’ve had
an opportunity to get to know your daughter, Mya, throughout the last few weeks while I have
been at New Brighton Elementary School working with Mrs. Zuchelli. Mya is always smiling and
a joy to be around.

I am sending this letter to request your permission for Mya to participate in an assignment I am
doing for one of my classes at Geneva. I would like to work directly with Mya on activities to
improve her reading skills. During the time I will be working with her, I will assess her reading
levels and design lessons to meet her needs in reading. The time I spend with her will not
interfere with her classes at school and the work she does with me will not affect her grade in
any class.

I think this project will be beneficial for Mya and me. She is a great student and I know she will
teach me a lot of things about teaching reading.

Should you have any questions or would like more information, please feel free to contact me
by emailing me at agyoung@geneva.edu or by calling my cell phone (330)-614-3707.

After completing the attached sheet, place it back in the envelope and address it to “Ms.
Young”. Please return it to me by Tuesday, October 11th.

Thank you so much for your time,

Sincerely,

Ashlynn Young
