 PAWS for Reading is a program that has caught on in schools and libraries nation-wide to help youngsters become successful readers.

Specially-trained therapy dogs help improve the literacy skills of children by providing a fun atmosphere where kids can be confident reading aloud and interacting with the animals.  The dogs love the attention too!
