For all the reading enthusiasts, a reading specialist cover letter comes in handy as they search for a job. Most people think that a cover letter is not necessary while they apply for a job. They just think that the resume/CV will do the needful. In reality, the cover letter plays a vital role in your communication with the employer. It can easily express the details, which do not appear in the resume.
A reading specialist is mostly employed in schools, colleges, and educational institutes where he helps the students in developing reading and writing skills. He has to pay extra attention to the students who face difficulty in reading and also to the special students so that they do not lag behind in developing reading skills.
How to write a Reading Specialist Cover Letter
A reading specialist cover letter is a document that summarizes your qualifications for this job. It is prepared for the ease of the employer. It needs to be written in a proper format that begins with your full name and contact information followed by the same details of the addressee including his/her designation. The body of cover letter is usually divided into three paragraphs.
Chronologically, the first paragraph is the introduction about the applicant.

My friend Jaime Reynolds, who works as a Librarian in your academy told me that you are hiring reading specialists. I have been in this profession for a long time and would like to apply for the opening in your organization. Please go through my application and documents to learn about my professional qualifications.
My goal was to become a teacher ever since I was in high school. I completed MA in Economics and went for a Doctorate in Literature at Michigan University.

Dear Ms. Thompson,
I came to know about the hiring of reading specialists in your organization through job alerts received from jobs portal.
I had just completed my PhD in History when I received a job offer from Community Learning Center, Lansing. I used to teach the adults and children who come from poor families. Being a social welfare centric job, I did not earn much but the satisfaction derived from this job always motivated me to further assist the students in development of reading skills and give my best efforts for their intellectual excellence.
I would like to meet you and discuss further details about the position and my eligibility for the same. I thank you and expect a positive response and a great journey ahead with your organization.
Sincerely yours,
Michael L. Romero
