Did you know that reading aloud to a dog creates a relaxed, non-judgmental environment to help children develop their reading skills and build confidence? It sure does! We've got lots of kids who practice their reading every Wednesday night to a certified therapy dog here a the library who have all gone on to be successful readers. And it's all thanks to our program called "Dogs and Tales". This is the perfect solution for any beginning reader up through 5th grade who needs an "extra boost" with their reading. Registration is required for a 20-minute reading time slot. Once a child has completed five reading visits with the program, they get to pick out a book to keep of their very own! Please call the children's desk today to register (we register up to two weeks at time) at 503-718-2656.
