About this Event
Help young students develop their confidence when reading aloud by practicing with a trained therapy dog. Available for students in grades 1-3.
This 4-week program gives young readers who may feel shy or nervous reading aloud an opportunity to practice this skill in a supportive environment by reading to a therapy dog and their handler. Run in partnership with St John Ambulance Therapy Dog Program, this initiative is designed to help develop the student's confidence when reading out loud.
