Reading to Dogs is a reading program designed to improve children's reading skills.
Read aloud to a registered/certified therapy dog from Therapy Dogs International, Chapter 205.
You must register to participate! No walk-ins.
Children in Grade 1-4 who register will have a 15 minute session side by side with the "Dog of the Day".
Our summer sessions will be held outside, on the Town Band Stand.
If the weather is bad, we will cancel the session.
Why read to a dog? Because dogs are friendly and comfy, judgement-free (no pressure!), and they love the attention of being read to.
Kids will gain more confidence in their reading aloud skills, and enjoy the company of a new friend.
