About the Program
Books and Barks gives kids a special chance to build confidence and have fun reading by sharing stories with a friendly, non-judgmental listener: a therapy dog! Reading to a dog can help children feel more relaxed and supported as they practice their reading skills. The dog doesn’t mind mistakes and is happy to listen, making this a wonderful, low-pressure way for kids to enjoy reading.
