持ち物

1. ご自宅にある本、またはカートよりお選びください。
2. 毛布または椅子
3. 暖かい日には日焼け止めと水筒、涼しい日にはジャケットを。.

何を期待するか：

1. Loud Noises:  Dogs can bark loudly and sometimes abruptly.  But oftentimes barking is a greeting and should settle down once the reading begins.
2. Stinky Smells:  It’s a fact that animals go to the bathroom like people do.  Kids may see and smell dog poop until shelter personnel can come by and take care of it.

プログラムの利点：

1. No judgement.  Kids can read at whatever speed they wish and they won’t be judged for making mistakes.  This can be a big confidence builder.
2. Practice reading aloud.  Many schools require children to read aloud as a curriculum requirement.  This activity can help prepare them.
3. 子どもたちが、さまざまな大きさや品種の動物たちと触れ合い、前向きでやりがいのある経験をする絶好の機会。.
4. 4本足の友だちから一心不乱に注意を向けられる。.
5. Parents can take pictures and post images on social media.  You can tag VCAnimalServices または VCASrescuereaders.  This could even help animals get adopted if your friends see an animal they like!
6. スクリーンから離れた屋外でのアクティビティは最高だ。.

ルールと期待

1. 保護者は子供と一緒にいて、常に注意を払わなければならない。.
2. Readers must sit at a predetermined distance from the kennels.
3. 読者は犬小屋のバーに指を近づけたり、通したりしてはならない。.
4. No feeding of the animals unless you have approved VCAS treats to give to animals for good behavior.
