Read to the Dogs

Read to the Dogs is a beloved program where children gain confidence and comfort by reading aloud to calm, trained therapy dogs. There's no pressure to perform perfectly—the dogs are patient listeners who don't judge or interrupt. Kids of all reading levels benefit from the low-stress environment, and many find that reading to an animal helps them relax and enjoy stories more. It's a wonderful way to build reading skills, boost confidence, and experience the joy of connecting with animals.
