Steps to Start a Reading Program!
www.readingwithrover.org/
It’s so great you’re interested in being part of a reading dog program! We at Reading With Rover commend you! So, where should you start?
Check out Intermountain Therapy Animals. They started the R.E.A.D program (R.E.A.D.® stands for Reading Education Assistance Dogs.) They are an excellent resource for information about using registered therapy dogs in children’s reading programs. |
R.E.A.D. is not just any reading program. It requires a team commitment to participate in the education training and then contributing your time and R.E.A.D. skills in a school or library to volunteer with children. Our therapy dog teams are paraprofessionals and must pass a test to qualify to work with children.
