Paws to Read: Read to Whitaker

Paws to Read is a beloved literacy program that pairs children with calm, trained therapy dogs during reading sessions. Kids read aloud to the dogs—a low-pressure way to build confidence and fluency without judgment. Dogs are patient listeners, and the experience often motivates reluctant readers. It's a wonderful bridge between kids and books, combining their love of animals with the joy of reading. Expect a relaxed, supportive environment where your child can connect with a furry friend while practicing their skills.
