Read to a Dog

How does Read to a Dog work?
Kids come to library during Read to a Dog and select a book to read to a furry friend. All of the dogs and handlers who participate have been certified as therapy dogs by an accredited organization.
Read to a Dog gives kids the chance to read to a non-judgmental listener, one who will accept the story exactly as they read it. For many children, this allows them a rare chance to experience stress free reading.
Being able to relax and have fun reading increases motivation to read, which is an essential element in becoming a successful reader.
