DESCRIPTION:Practice Reading Skills with a Therapy Dog.Reading aloud helps
  your young child expand their vocabulary and improve reading comprehensio
 n. Learning to read can be scary; a friendly face, particularly one with a
  wagging tail, can ease reading anxieties and build confidence. Billings P
 ublic Library is hosting two sessions a month:1st Saturday of the month 1-
 2pm with Intermountain Therapy Animals3rd Wednesday of the month 3-4pm wit
 h Pet Partner Therapy AnimalsEach child will be able to sign up on the day
  of the program and have a chance to read to one dog. Space is limitedR.E.
 A.D to a Dog gives children the opportunity to practice their reading skil
 ls without fear of judgment. Children will share a book with a trained the
 rapy dog; accompanied by the dog’s handler (the handlers do not correct 
 a child's reading). Parents may sit quietly in the room with their ch
 ild or take this moment to sit and relax just outside the program area.
