Description
Independent readers can come practice reading aloud with a furry pal. Friendly, well-trained therapy dogs from Caring Canines will give elementary aged readers an opportunity to improve their literacy skills by sharing stories aloud. The non-judgmental presence of the dogs and their silent appreciation for the written word paves the way for reading success and provides a healthy boost of confidence. Bring your own book or use a library book!
