Children can practice their reading skills by reading a book to a trained therapy animal in a quiet, relaxed setting. Reading aloud helps children become better readers by improving fluency and comprehension, among other important skills. We usually have between one and three therapy animal teams and each child usually gets to read to each animal for about 10 minutes. Our furry volunteers are great listeners! https://nbtexas.libwizard.com/id/a9dff55dc4d4eee7ad30a934bfc04879
