About this event
What is it?
An hour long reading literacy program with four 15 minute time slots. During these time slots, children will have one-on-one reading time with therapy dogs in a supportive and safe environment. This allows children the space to sound out unfamiliar words, conquer complex plots, and discover the power of storytelling.
Why join?
• A calm, judgement-free space to read aloud
• Encouragement from trained therapy dogs
• Confidence-building practice for young readers
Brought to you by:
• Roanoke City Sheriff's Office
• Roanoke Public Libraries
• Therapets
With Support From:
• Roanoke City Public Schools
• Shield Chaplaincy
