 All Ears Reading®
Grades 1-5
Reading with animals is a great way to improve your child’s reading skills. Join ARF for a relaxed, non-judgmental and encouraging reading environment with trained pet teams. Children will read animal related stories to animals on ARF’s therapy team. Children will have the opportunity to listen and interact with the story or read aloud to the animals depending on their reading level.
