What is the Paws & Think Reading Program?
Reading Education Assistance Dogs members are registered therapy animals who volunteer with their owner/handlers as a team, going to schools, libraries and many other settings as reading companions for children. Through R.E.A.D., the handlers are trained as skilled facilitators, prepared to help the child gain confidence, improve reading and communication skills, social skills and develop a love of reading. With the dog, handlers are able to shift performance pressure off the child
