A pawsitively wonderful opportunity for reading practice!

What could be more delightful and encouraging than practicing reading skills with a dog as your audience? Based on research that supports the benefits of the human-animal bond, this program offers a special chance to boost literacy.

School-age children, grades 1-6, may sign up to read aloud to dog/handler teams. Children may bring their own books to read or choose from our selections.

For a positive reading experience, only registered child and accompanying parent/adult should attend.

Advance sign-up is required and space is limited.

Click on the date under the dog's name of your choice to register for that date. Or call the Children's Information Desk at 285-8012
