Explanation:

- Option 1: "reaches out for" – This option is incorrect because "reaches out for" suggests trying to grasp or obtain something, which doesn't fit the context of a literacy movement aiming to contact or engage people.

- Option 2: "reach out for" – This is also incorrect. "Reach out for" has a similar implication to Option 1, meaning to attempt to acquire or get something, not to engage or connect with people.

- Option 3: "reaching out to" – While this means the act of extending aid or communication, the gerund form "reaching" doesn’t fit because the sentence structure needs a past tense verb to maintain past continuity.

- Option 4: "reached out to" – This is the correct choice. It fits the past narrative structure, indicating that the teachers, students, and volunteers contacted or connected with people in remote villages.
