Here's an exciting kind of storytime - where a child does the reading, and the audience has four legs.
Local therapy dog organizations, PawsUp! and Noah's Dogs, provide this wonderful opportunity for children ages 6 to 12 who are experiencing reading difficulties or who just need to practice reading. Therapy Teams are partnered with children who polish their skills by reading aloud to a dog. Children read to dogs in 20-minute shifts, once a week for six weeks.
Children may read to a dog at these locations and times. Pre-registration and parental permission are required. Call or stop by the library where you want to participate.
