Practice reading aloud with a friendly, certified therapy dog!

Children build confidence and fluency by reading aloud to a calm, attentive listener - in this fun program, it's a trained therapy dog!

This relaxed, judgment-free setting is ideal for developing readers who want to grow their skills and enjoy positive reading experiences. Each reader will have the chance to spend time with their grown-ups reading one-on-one with a dog and their handler. Limited space may be available on a first-come, first-served basis. All children must be accompanied by a responsible adult.
