🐶 Sage the Tail Waggin' Tutor
2025-10-17 15:15 - 18:15 (America/Chicago) | 130 N Bridge St, Manawa, WI, 54949, United States
Sage the Tail Waggin’ Tutor loves listening to children read. Do you think you could pick out a story she’d like?This program provides children with the opportunity to practice their reading skills in a supportive environment. By reading aloud to a dog, children can eliminate the fear of judgment and feel more at ease. The presence of an attentive dog allows them to focus on their reading without distraction. As a result, their reading improves through practice, while also building self-esteem and creating positive associations with reading.Sage’s human, Tory Suehs, is a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 20 years of experience working with children and families in both residential and outpatient mental health settings.No registration is required.
