R.E.A.D. to a Pet with Pets for Life

Build reading confidence by reading aloud to trained therapy dogs and cats.

R.E.A.D. to a Pet is a literacy program that pairs children with calm, trained animals as reading companions. Kids read aloud to the pets in a relaxed, judgment-free setting—the animals don't critique! This approach helps build reading confidence, fluency, and a love of books, especially for children who feel nervous reading in front of people. It's a gentle, playful way to practice reading skills while bonding with friendly animals.
