Literacy for All Programs

Roxy Reading’s Emotional Therapy Dog Teams have visited thousands of area students since our inception in 2005. Volunteer teams are carefully chosen to match the needs of the children in “their” class. Weekly visits to elementary school children with a wide variety of reading challenges build strong supporting relationships, trust, a sense of calm and self-confidence.
