Program Description

Event Description

Want to be a more confident reader? Build "pawsitive" self-esteem and improve your reading skills while reading aloud to certified therapy dogs.  

This program is a hybrid of our traditional Children Reading to Dogs program.  We will use technology to connect to the certified therapy dogs and their owner remotely.  You will need a device and internet connection to participate in this program. One staff member will be stationed in each breakout room with one reader and one certified therapy dog.
