Pups Assisting Children With Kindness is a special reading program.
Reading P.A.C.K. is a available for children in Title 1 Reading, Reading Recovery or other similar program. The Reading P.A.C.K. program encourages children to read to a dog that will not judge or criticize the child's performance. The unconditional acceptance, lack of judgment and novelty that a dog offers a child can result in improved reading scores and enhance a child's general attitude about reading.
Reading sessions with dogs will be held the 1st and 3rd Tuesday of each month from 5:30 p.m. until 6:50 p.m. at the library. Individual reading sessions with dogs will be scheduled at 5:30, 5:50, 6:10, and 6:30 p.m. Available handlers and dogs are limited. Registration is requested. Drop-in's are welcome if reading slots are available.
Call the library at 283-2824 to see if your child qualifies to participate in this fun program and to sign up for a reading time.
