Relax and read with a dog! This program brings dogs and reluctant readers together for 15 minutes of companionship. Handlers and their dogs provide quiet encouragement to children so that they might develop a love of reading and improve communication skills. Canines for Literacy is an affiliate program of Reading Education Assistance Dogs® (READ®).
Please note that you may book one session per day, and sessions are 15 minutes long. Available time slots are as follows;
4:00 pm, 4:15pm, 4:30 pm, and 4:45 pm.
