About this event
Storytime Room. *DIFFERENT DAY FOR SEPTEMBER - 4th THURSDAY* Read to a Dog gives kids the chance to read to a non-judgmental listener, one who will accept the story exactly as they read it. For many children, this allows them a rare chance to experience stress free reading. Being able to relax and have fun reading increases motivation to read, which is an essential element in becoming a successful reader. Winston is a 5 year old English Bulldog. His favorite food is salmon, and he loves children, swimming, and napping! Winston comes to the Martha Cooper Library every 3rd Thursday of the month. How does Read to a Dog work? Kids come to library during Read to a Dog and select a book to read to a furry friend. All of the dogs and handlers who participate have been certified as therapy dogs by an accredited organization.
