PAWS for Reading

Read aloud to a furry, friendly therapy companion to help inspire a love of reading. Readers of all ages and stages are welcome. We partner with PAWS for People and local family “teams” to bring your children opportunities to read to dogs! Reading to an animal is a great experience for struggling readers; a nonjudgemental listening ear contributes to confidence and excitement for reading. PAWS teams are trained in this literacy support program and work with kids in schools and libraries who are struggling or reluctant readers.
