The St.Paul Public Library is seeking compassionate pet therapy volunteers to make weekly visits to our libraries to have children read to your pet.
Children who are learning to read are often hesitant about their reading abilities. Many kids feel more at ease reading to pets, who are simply there to listen-not to judge how well they are reading. tudies have shown that children who read to dogs achieve higher end-of-year reading scores (Kirnan, Siminerio, & Wong, 2016)
If you have a thereapy dog, rabbit or guinea pig that is a great listener. We would live to have you join us on Sundays in November.
*All pet companions must be pet therapy certified and have up-to-date immunizations and health records.
