R.E.A.D. Dogs

 

 

The Reading Education Assistance Dog program (R.E.A.D.) provides beginning readers an opportunity to practice their reading skills in a non-threatening environment. The dogs and their handlers will work with individual children on a one-on-one basis for approximately 15-20 minutes during a session. There is no charge for this program.


As of December 2011,

the R.E.A.D. Dog program

at the CBCPL is  on hiatus.

Please check back for future dates.

 

For more information, contact Youth Services at 541-766-6794.

The dogs and handlers have been insured for liability and have undergone reading education training in addition to their extensive training and registration to do animal-assisted therapy.

If you are interested in having your dog participate in the R.E.A.D. program, please contact Welcome Waggers, Wendy McCoy, at 541-760-0476.
