Looking for a fun, low-pressure way to help your child build reading confidence? Join us for Story Dogs with Mel, a friendly Brittany Spaniel!

In this unique program, school-aged children will have the opportunity to read aloud to Mel and her handler, Hannah.

When children read to a friendly, calm dog, the outcomes are amazing. Their literacy skills increase and their confidence soars!

It offers a non-judgmental, relaxed environment where children can practise their reading skills and gain confidence without the worry of making mistakes. It's a safe and supportive space where children can truly enjoy the experience of reading.


How it works:

  • Each child will have a 20-minute timeslot to read to Mel and Hannah
  • Mel loves hearing stories and provides a calm, supportive audience.
  • Mel's owner, Hannah will be there to guide and encourage your child, ensuring a positive experience.

This is a wonderful opportunity to help your child improve their reading skills while having fun with Mel!

Individual sessions will be allocated to each child between 4-5.30pm on Monday's throughout the school term. 

These sessions are free; however, bookings are essential. Call (03) 5950 1710 or visit us at Hastings Library to learn more about this program and how to enrol your child.

 

Please note: Children must be able to attend weekly during the school term.
