Walter the Goldendoodle, a licensed therapy dog from the Alliance of Therapy Dogs, is here to lend a friendly ear to young readers aged 4-14. If your child feels uncomfortable reading out loud or needs a confidence boost, Walter’s calm presence and eagerness to listen to a good story can make all the difference. This unique opportunity allows children to practice their reading skills in a relaxed and non-judgmental environment, helping them gain confidence and fluency.
The event promises to be a heartwarming experience for both children and parents alike. Walter’s gentle demeanor and love for stories create a safe space for young readers to explore the joy of reading. Not only does this event provide educational benefits, but it also fosters a love for animals and encourages empathy and compassion in children.
With the support of the community and the dedication of therapy dog teams like Walter, events like “Read to Walter” play a crucial role in promoting literacy and emotional well-being among children. Don’t miss this opportunity to help your child develop a love for reading and build their confidence in a fun and engaging way.
Join us at the Vigo County Public Library on October 23, 2025, for an unforgettable reading experience with Walter the Goldendoodle. Let’s create lasting memories and inspire a lifelong love for reading together.
