Reading to Dogs<br />
Tuesday, 3.30-4.30pm<br />
Designed to provide a relaxed,<br />
non-threatening atmosphere<br />
which encourages children<br />
to practise their reading skills<br />
and develop a love of reading.<br />
The programme uses dogs who<br />
are pets of the city council’s<br />
animal management team.<br />
These furry friends have all<br />
been trained and tested for<br />
health, safety and temperament.<br />
The dogs can increase a child’s<br />
relaxation while reading, listen<br />
attentively, do not laugh, judge<br />
or criticise, allow children to<br />
proceed at their own pace, can<br />
be less intimidating than a<br />
child’s peers. Library staff and a<br />
dog handler will be present at all<br />
times to help facilitate the sessions.<br />
Sessions are 15min.<br />
