​

The “Read With Me™ library program is dedicated to improving literacy and involves reading to children with therapy animals present. The “Read With Me™ program (through Pet Partners) allows children to read to therapy animals in a nonjudgmental environment while encouraging reading skills.

The SOUL Harbour Ranch Animal Therapy Program has partnered with Barrington School District 220 to provide "Read with Me" sessions at all 8 of the elementary schools. We kicked off the program in March 2023 and it has been a resounding success...because of course reading to therapy dogs is PAWsome! Check out the woof-tastic photos above!

Thank you to Jordan Anderson, Director of Learning Services at Barrington School District 220 and ALL of the BSD220 elementary school principals and reading specialists for advocating for this program!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
