Paws to Read
December 14, 2010

Come to the Kingsport Public Library and read to a Certified Therapy Dog. Reading sessions are one-on-one with the dog and last 20 minutes. Pre-registration is strongly recommended because doggie spots are limited.

Program is free
For independent readers in grades 1-5
Parents need to sign a registration form.
Children may bring their favorite book or pick one from the
library

Studies have shown that reading to dogs helps
children improve reading skills and build self-confidence. It’s fun and the children do not feel judged by the dog. If the child misses a word, the dog just listens and wags his tail.
Call 229-9366 for more information.
