Paws for Reading
Thursday 3.30, 3.45, 4 and
4.15pm
Read to a furry friend. Is your
child shy or reluctant about
reading? Do they need to gain
confidence in reading aloud?
Reading to a gentle and patient
furry friend can help. Selwyn
District Libraries are partnering
with members of the Selwyn
Dog Training Club to offer
Paws for Reading. Book your
child in to spend 15min reading
to a friendly, carefully selected
dog. Take a book that your
child has read before or choose
one from the library before
the session. Most sessions will
be on the mobile library bus.
Dogs have each been carefully
selected and will be monitored
by the dog’s owner/handler. A
library staff member will also be
on hand at all times during the
session, however, the sessions
encourage children to read to
the dog with minimal adult
intervention. Do not book your
child into a session if they are
nervous or anxious around dogs.
Do not book your child into a
session if they have a known
allergy to dogs.
