This October, we’re starting Read With Me™, a program designed to help young readers become more comfortable and confident with their reading while reading to a therapy animal. 

Readers of all ages are invited to book an appointment to read with Cali the dog. Each appointment is 15 minutes long, and readers are welcome bring their own book or pick one of Cali’s favorites!

There are so many benefits to reading, from enhancing your knowledge and expanding your vocabulary to improving your communications skills to reducing stress. The Pet Partners Read With Me™ initiative intentionally incorporates therapy animals to support readers of all ages and abilities.

Next reading sessions: 10/2 & 10/16 from 4:00-5:00 p.m. (by appointment) Sign up today!
