Paws for Reading

Are your children struggling with reading? Do they feel nervous about making mistakes? We have the perfect solution! Come to our Reading to Dogs sessions, where children can read aloud to a friendly, non-judgmental border collie.

These sessions happen weekly, you can book in for a one off session or multiple sessions

In a relaxed and supportive environment, children will have the chance to read for 15 minutes  to one of the Canine Friends Pet Therapy dogs, helping to boost their confidence and literacy skills. Studies show that reading to dogs can reduce anxiety and improve reading fluency—plus, it’s a whole lot of fun!

Spaces are limited, so reserve your spot today! Let’s inspire a love for reading, one wag at a time!
