Are you nervous about reading aloud? Come read one-on-one to a trained therapy dog, Mr. Vito. Mr. Vito is a friendly dog who loves when kids sit with him and read! He even wears a bowtie for the occasion. Reading to dogs can boost children’s literacy skills as well as help with emotional and social skills. This activity is allocated in 10-15 minutes increments.
