New or nervous readers are invited to practice and develop confidence by reading aloud to Waffles, a certified therapy dog, who will be a patient and non-judgmental audience!

Waffles will be accompanied by his human handler.  This program is recommended for ages 4 through 11.  Please sign up on this page; each registered participant will be assigned a 10-minute time slot via email prior to the event.  Registration will open on the Monday before each session, and close on the following Thursday morning.
