Ages 5 -11
The Book Buddies program at SAS provides children aged 5-11* with the opportunity to improve their reading skills and boost their confidence by reading to our nonjudgmental cats, dogs or small animals.
Research shows that reading to animals has a positive impact on both the children and animals; children who read aloud to animals have increased their reading proficiency while fearful and/or shy animals become more comfortable with humans because there is no forced interaction.
This program will be offered on select evenings in ½ hour increments between 5:00pm-7:00pm. Due to the program’s popularity, we currently limit each child to 5 reading sessions, and you must schedule your reading times in advance.
*If you have a child outside of the ages of 5-11 who you feel would benefit from the program, please contact kellygibson@scituateanimalshelter.org
