Reading to Dogs | Hillview Lib

Today: Reading to Dogs at Hillview Library

Tell a story to a Furry Friend! Children are invited to practice reading to gentle, trained assistance dogs who love books! The main objective of this program is to provide a relaxed and edog-friendly” atmosphere, which allows students to practice the skill of reading. By sitting down next to a dog and reading to the dog, all threats of being judged are put aside: the child relaxes, pats the attentive dog, and focuses on the reading. Free. No registration required.
