Paws to Read
Wednesday, March 12, 3:00-4:30 PM (timeslots)
Wednesday, March 26, 3:00-4:30 PM (timeslots)
Build reading skills and gain confidence in reading aloud by coming to the Library to Paws to Read! Register to reserve a 15-minute time slot to have your child read to Gizmo and Pepe, two adorable chihuahua/pomeranian mix therapy dogs. Research has shown that reading aloud to another person can help struggling readers with their overall performance and confidence. But did you know that reading comprehension improves even more when reading to a dog rather than an adult? It’s true!
Each one-on-one private session is facilitated by Sandra Healey and her two dogs. Space is limited.
Children should bring a book they can read or come a few minutes before to select one in the children’s room.

Read to Oliver…from anywhere
Does your child need help building confidence reading aloud?
Do you have a child who would simply enjoy reading to an adorable labradoodle?
Either way, with Oliver now on YouTube, any time is a good time to Read To Oliver!
Have your child select a book to read and Oliver will listen for 20 minutes.
Good to know...reading aloud to a therapy dog has also been shown to improve children’s attitude about reading.
