About the Event
What is it?
An hour long reading literacy program with four 15 minute time slots. During these time slots, children will have one-on-one reading time with therapy dogs in a supportive and safe environment. This allows children the space to sound out unfamiliar words, conquer complex plots, and discover the power of storytelling.
