In partnership with Therapeutic Paws of Canada, the Library offers an exciting literacy program designed to help children ages 5 and up who would benefit from extra practice with their reading.
Locations offered: Hagersville Branch, and Jarvis Branch.
Ages: 5 and up.
How it works
Registered children come to the library each week at a pre-scheduled time and read to a certified dog and handler team. Children are encouraged to pick a book or books they enjoy or they think the dog will enjoy and will spend their 15-minute session reading to the specially-trained dog.
Paws to Read dogs provide undivided attention to the children who read aloud, increasing a child’s confidence and boosting self-esteem in those who struggle to read aloud.
To register call or visit the branch location.
