Doggy Tales
TBA
Doggy Tales, and other programs like it are becoming popular all across the United States. Studies have shown that children who participate in similar programs have improved their reading skills. It helps build confidence in the reader, plus has the added benefit of introducing children who may not have pets, to a calm, well trained animal. And, the dogs are very good listeners who don't interrupt!
For kids ages 6 to 11. Come and read to a real, live dog! You do not have to be a Cary cardholder to register for this program.
