This popular program that allows children learning to read to practice by reading aloud to one of our volunteer therapy dogs this May. The dogs are good listeners, and they won’t interrupt or correct the reader. It has been proven that, over time, therapy dog literacy programs help boost the reader’s self-confidence and improve overall reading and communication skills.
