Paws 4 Stories is the Therapy Dog Community Service that promotes improvement in children's reading skills. When a child reads with a St. John Ambulance certified therapy dog, they start to relax and forget about feeling nervous about reading. Dogs make very supportive listeners! Therapy dogs and their volunteers will listen to children who want to practice reading aloud.
Please have a book picked out to read to the dog ahead of your 15-minute appointment. Space is limited.
