We can’t invite anyone into the shelter to read to the animals right now but that doesn’t mean everyone has to miss out on this wonderful opportunity! Children in grades K-8 who can read at any level are invited to set up a Zoom meeting with an animal of your choice for a 30 minute read-aloud. The child chooses the animal and the book and we’ll get it all set up! This program helps children improve their reading skills while also helping the animals by providing socialization and human interaction. Many children struggle with reading at school and often feel reluctant to practice at home with a parent. An animal is a completely non-judgmental listener.
