Read to the Dogs Program

Tucker and his handler Randy are in the library every other Saturday from 11am-1pm.
Sign up for a half hour session to practice your reading AND make a new friend.

Randy and Tucker library

This innovative program sponsored by Dove Lewis Emergency Animal Hospital pairs young readers with trained dog-and-handler teams. The program helps children develop their reading skills by offering them a relaxed, non-judgmental environment in which to practice reading aloud. In this program, only the dogs may make corrections... and they never offer to.

Reading aloud to dogs:
Increases enthusiasm for reading
Develops reading skills
Teaches children how to interact with animals 
Promotes confidence

Each participant receives a certificate and a photo with Tucker.
Take a peak at some photos of Tucker and his newest friends.

Call the Sherwood Library at 503-625-6688 and sign up now.
