Read to a Dog: Marilyn J. Praisner - In Person

Come read to Jackson!

Practice reading aloud and build your confidence during a one-on-one reading session with a certified therapy dog.

We have a limited number of available time slots. Each reader will have ten minutes to read one-on-one with Jackson, a certified therapy dog from Therapy Dogs International.

This program is specifically targeted to children 5 years old and up who have some ability to read aloud on their own.

No registration is required. First come, first served. Meets at Meeting Room 1.
