This program aims to improve children’s literacy skills and lead them to enjoy reading through a welcoming environment for budding readers to practice reading aloud. Read aloud proficiency can often lead to confidence in social interactions and public speaking. All these things build on each other to create a pathway to academic achievement. 

Teen and canine reading buddies are available on a first-come, first-serve basis. Plan for a possible short wait.
