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
