Come Read to Goldie

Dover Public Library will be offering Paws For Reading again in the Children's Room. Children ages 6 - 10 can read to Goldie, a Certified Therapy Dog, for a fifteen minute session.

Paws For Reading is designed to allow kids the chance to read to a non-judgmental listener who will accept the story exactly as they read it. This gives kids a chance to experience stress free reading. Children find themselves relaxing and having fun while reading! They come to think of themselves as good readers, which helps their self esteem and makes them eager to read. And eager readers practice their reading more often, leading to improved reading skill.

If you would like to come read to Goldie, she will be here:
Saturday, April 4 (10:30-11:30)
Tuesday, April 21 (6:30-7:30)
Saturday, May 2 (10:30-12:00)
Tuesday, May 19 (6:30-7:30)

Make sure to sign up in advance in the Children's Room. Goldie is a very popular visitor!
