Paws for Reading
is back!
Register now for the
May 17 session!
Call
259-3300 or stop in the library to register.
Dogs
can’t read,
but they
can be great listeners...
In this monthly program, children read aloud to trained
therapy dogs. The dogs’ handlers sit nearby to help ease the interaction.
Children are often more willing to
read to dogs than in front of their classmates, because kids who stumble over
new words know their furry friends won't make fun of them. By reading to a
therapy dog,
children's reading skills improve and their self-esteem grows.
Open to all kids and tweens
Books may be brought from home or chosen
from the library shelves.
Each child will receive a certificate and
a free book to take home.
· Register
for one 15 minute session
· Readers
may remain for a longer session
if next time slot is not reserved.
· More
than one child may read at a time
depending on the availability
of dogs and handlers
· Drop-ins
are welcome if time slots are available
