Kids are invited to work on basic skills during the school year with the library reading therapy partner dogs, Beretta and Roxie at the Williams Family Seymour Branch Library. The dogs enjoy listening quietly and patiently as students practice reading, math, and/or vocabulary skills. Students can read with Beretta and Roxie while practicing their multiplication tables, and spelling words, or chat about their day. Kids can work through words and gain confidence in their skills.
Beretta, Roxie, and their handler will visit the Williams Family Seymour Branch Library, 137 W. Macon Lane, in Seymour on the second and third Fridays of each month. The upcoming sessions on May 10 & 17 from 3:30-4:00 p.m. are geared toward children ages 5-10. Each young reader can read with Beretta or Roxie for 10 minutes.
The programs are a partnership between the Human/Animal Bond in Tennessee (H.A.B.I.T.) and the Sevier County Public Library System (SCPLS). For more information, call 865.573.0728.
