Build confidence and reading skills — one wag at a time !
Come read to some PAW–some pooches! School-age readers are invited to read to furry and friendly canine volunteers and their trainers. This is a great program for struggling and reluctant readers or for those who enjoy practice. The dogs are wonderful listeners. Woof!
✨ Limited spots available! ✨
