July 13th, 2007 - Warren County Library
Reading went to the dogs at the Warren County Public Library on
Friday, July 13th when they sponsored a R.E.A.D. (Reading Education
Assistance Dogs) program....
I'm all ears!
The R.E.A.D. program aims to improve
children’s reading and communication skills by allowing children to
read to a dog. R.E.A.D. dogs are registered, insured and trained
therapy dogs who volunteer with their owner/handlers as a team to be
reading companions for the children. Each child is paired with a dog
to read out loud at their own pace in a less intimidating
atmosphere. The program hopes to give the children an opportunity to
practice and enjoy reading in a fun environment.
