Edmond Animal Services Tests Kids Reading To Animals Program

By: Mike Glover Edmond Animal Services has a unique program that is not only helping the animals, but also kids with their reading skills. It’s called Rescue Readers and for one hour, readers between the ages of 6 and 12 come in and read to available dogs or cats of their choice. “When kids read to animals, they feel a little more comfortable working on things they may have trouble with, like pronouncing certain word,” said Cara Drake with Edmond Animal Services. “They don’t feel as judged when they’re reading to an animal as opposed to a person.” The interaction is beneficial for the animals as well because they need as much human socialization as possible.
