For young readers, the incentive of reading to a dog is hard to beat. A dog is patient when the reader struggles with a new vocabulary word and never reacts judgmentally.
Young readers are matched up with trained Pet Therapy Labrardor retrievers in the "Paws-itive Reading Days" program that is entering its second year at Montville's . The program is offered every month to pre-kindergarten through 5th grade-readers in the children's section of the library.
Take a look at our Viewfinder photo gallery to see how our young readers interact with a canine reading companion.
