All Ears Reading™ Ages 3-12
Reading with animals is a great way to improve your child’s reading skills. Join us in a relaxed, non-judgmental and encouraging environment with trained pet teams. The class will meet for five weeks and at each session we will read animal related stories to the animals on ARF’s therapy team. Children will have the opportunity to listen and interact with the story or read aloud to the animals depending on their reading level. Children may re-register for as many 5 week sessions as desired for a fee. Please submit applications at least one week in advance.
