Reading to the Dogs and Bunnies!
On Monday, April 23, Zachary Lane students and families celebrated the second time that World Book Night has come to the United States through a reading event with Reading Education Assistance (READ) Dogs. The students read with one of the specially trained dogs or a specially trained rabbit. The therapy animals provide a safe and relaxed way for students to work on their reading - even if they're good readers! This was the first time Robbinsdale Area Schools' students utilized the Reading Education Assistance Dogs. Families who came to the event received a free book from World Book Night.
