PAWS for Reading. Read to Rose! (for children or young teens. Best for ages 5 and up.)
Media Library · Media, PA
Children ages 5 and up read aloud to Rose, a trained therapy dog from PAWS for People, in 10-minute sessions designed to build reading confidence in a nonjudgmental environment.
After checking in at the children's room, kids wait their turn for up to 10 minutes of one-on-one reading time with Rose, a gentle therapy dog who listens patiently as they practice reading aloud. The atmosphere is quiet and encouraging, with parents nearby and library staff on hand to help things flow smoothly. It's a low-pressure, cozy setting meant to make reading feel safe and fun rather than performative.
