In partnership with St John Ambulance Therapy Dog Program, we are helping young students develop their confidence when reading aloud by practicing with a trained therapy dog. Available for children ages 6-10.
This program gives young readers who may feel shy or nervous reading aloud an opportunity to practice this skill in a supportive environment by reading to a therapy dog and their handler.
Space is limited, please contact or visit your branch for more information.
