Program Description
Event Details
Read to Sophie
If you have a young, reluctant or struggling reader, we want you to meet Sophie! Sophie is a therapy dog that will be a non-judgmental listener and furry friend to read to that won’t laugh if they make a mistake or stumble over a word.
Children learn to associate reading with being with the dog, and begin to view reading in a positive way. Over time, the child’s reading ability and confidence can improve because they are practicing their skills.
Children will each get approximately 15 minutes of reading time with Sophie.
