CLOSED FOR SUMMER - Paws and Pages

Paws & Pages - Reading to the animals helps provide the animal comfort, while teaching empathy in children. For the Animals:Reading to animals at a shelter can give them some much needed one-on-one time with a companion in a calm, non-stressful setting. It can also help skittish dogs and cats develop social skills that give them a better chance of being adopted. For the Children:Animals don't judge a child's reading skills, which may encourage hesitant or struggling readers to practice and gain confidence. Reading aloud to animals helps improve literacy skills and has a positive effect on attitudes about reading in young learners. All while teaching empathy in children. FOR ALL QUESTIONS/CONCERNS, PLEASE EMAIL K.HAWCO@APCSM.ORG
