준비물

1. 집에서 책을 가져오거나 카트에서 책을 선택할 수 있습니다.
2. 담요 또는 의자
3. 따뜻한 날씨에는 자외선 차단제와 물병을, 서늘한 날에는 재킷을 준비하세요.

예상되는 사항

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.

프로그램 혜택:

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. 아이들이 다양한 크기와 품종의 동물들과 함께 긍정적이고 보람찬 경험을 할 수 있는 좋은 기회입니다.
4. 네발 달린 친구들에게 온전히 집중하세요.
5. Parents can take pictures and post images on social media.  You can tag VC애니멀서비스 또는 @VCASrescuereaders.  This could even help animals get adopted if your friends see an animal they like!
6. 스크린에서 벗어난 멋진 야외 활동입니다.

규칙 및 기대치:

1. 부모/보호자는 항상 자녀와 함께 있어야 하며, 자녀에게 전적인 관심을 기울여야 합니다.
2. Readers must sit at a predetermined distance from the kennels.
3. 독자는 개집 막대 근처나 막대 사이로 손가락을 넣어서는 안 됩니다.
4. No feeding of the animals unless you have approved VCAS treats to give to animals for good behavior.
