Did you know reading out loud is a wonderful form of enrichment for animals in shelters? It lowers their stress levels, helps them feel more calm in their kennels, and also helps them feel more comfortable around people. Reading to pets is also a pawesome way for kids to build their literacy skills and boost their reading confidence.
Read Across America Day at JHS is made possible thanks to program support from The Jim Moran Foundation.
