Come join in the fun of reading your favorite storybook to a dog! Each day at The Eric Carle Museum in South Amherst, Massachusetts, Monday through Friday from 2:30-3:30, children can read a story to one of our sweet, friendly Bright Spot Reading Buddy dogs.
Participation is by sign-up for a 15-minute one-on-one reading session with the Ready Buddy. This is our second year running our popular school vacation program at The Eric Carle Museum with some of the same children signing up each time. The program runs during April school vacation, as well.
There may still be a few open slots left. If interested, call the Museum at (413) 658-1100 to sign-up. Parents love the program telling us that it has prompted their children to start reading at home. Some children end up reading at home to their own dog, or to a stuffed animal, we’re told.
