2008 Pals For Reading Workshops

Participating children attend three monthly events at which they practice their reading skills by reading aloud to trained therapy dogs. Reading to animals helps shy children and children having trouble learning to read build confidence in their literacy skills.

These programs are free, but registration is required. Space is very limited, and children are expected to attend all three sessions. Please contact the library hosting the program to see if there is space available.
