We now have two Read to the Dogs teams here at Sherwood. Christopher and his human handler, Christina, and Jackson and his human handler, Bri are at the library most Saturdays and would love to have you read to them. With two different teams, you now have twice the opportunity to Read to the Dogs! Sign up for a 20 minute session to practice your reading AND make a new friend.

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 Christopher or Jackson.
Take a peak at some photos of Christopher, Jackson and friends.
Call the Sherwood Library at 503-625-6688 and sign up now.
