Kids can practice reading aloud to a friendly therapy dog who is a very good listener at the Westfield Washington Public Library. Therapy dogs offer a calm, nonjudgmental audience that can help young readers build confidence, focus and comprehension.
The program is free for ages 4 to 12. Registration is required for a 15-minute session, and readers who need to pick out a book should arrive 10 minutes early and check in at the Children’s Desk.
