POOCHES & PAGES: KIDS READING TO THERAPY DOGS
Would your child like a little boost in reading confidence? Sign up for Neenah Public Library’s Pooches & Pages: Kids Reading to Therapy Dogs on Saturday, November 12. Children in first through sixth grade may sign up for a fifteen-minute reading appointment between 10:00 and 11:30 a.m.
Pooches & Pages is held on the second Saturday of every month. It is a reading program designed to build reading confidence and self-esteem, help a child maintain focus for a longer period of time, and increase the motivation to read. Dogs are carefully selected to ensure a safe and fun experience, and the owner/handlers are library volunteers who love helping children become enthusiastic readers. The dogs are gentle, calm and polite and listen patiently and without judgment as a child reads aloud.
For more information or to register a child for a Pooches & Pages appointment, contact [email protected], visit the Neenah Library website at www.neenahlibrary.org, or call the Neenah Public Library Youth Services Department at 886-6335.
