Paws For Reading

PAWS for Reading is a program that allows children to read aloud to a therapy dog in order to improve reading and communication skills. Children will read individually to a trained therapy dog (and her handler) in our 1st Floor Program Room where they can feel comfortable, confident — and have fun! After all, a dog will not correct them or make them feel awkward if they stumble.

For Beginner/Reluctant Readers ages 5 and up.

Thank you to St. John Ambulance volunteers (four-legged and their humans) for offering this paw-pular program!
