Not only is reading to a dog fun, but it also helps build confidence, motivation, and perseverance, while developing reading skills!
About this Event

Guardian Whiskers' Book Buddies registered therapy dogs enjoy being read to! Every second Saturday of the month, sign your child up for a free 20-minute reading appointment to practice reading to one of our therapy dogs in a quiet reading room. Bring a favorite book, or we have books to choose from.

We kindly ask that parents, guardians, siblings, and friends wait patiently in our waiting area while the reading session is completed by your child. Our volunteers will help only when needed through difficult words or to maintain the flow of the story, rather than pointing out mistakes. We are not looking for perfection – and neither are the dogs!

The Book Buddies provide a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental environment for children to practice reading aloud at their own pace. We encourage children 5 years and older to participate.

(Please sign up one child up per one reservation for a reading session. No need to sign up the adults who will bring the reader(s)!)

**If you need to cancel your reservation, please let us know as soon as possible. By cancelling your appointment, you will give another child an opportunity to read. Email us at [email protected] or call/text (608) 886-8849. Thank you!**

PLEASE COMPLETE YOUR ONLINE REGISTRATION SO THAT WE WILL KNOW YOU HAVE RESERVATIONS AND WILL BE ARRIVING!! THANK YOU!
