1. 从家里带一本书，或从我们的购物车中选择一本书
2. 毯子或椅子

What to wear:

1. Close-toed shoes
2. Sunscreen and water bottle for warm weather

期待什么？

1. 大声喧哗： 狗狗会大声吠叫，有时还会突然吠叫。 但通常情况下，吠叫是一种问候，阅读开始后就会平息下来。.
2. 臭味 动物和人一样也要上厕所，这是不争的事实。 孩子们可能会看到和闻到狗大便的味道，直到收容所的工作人员过来处理。.

计划优势：

1. 没有评判。 孩子们可以按照自己希望的速度阅读，不会因为犯错而受到评判。 这可以大大增强他们的自信心。.
2. 练习朗读。 许多学校都要求孩子们朗读课文。 这项活动可以帮助他们做好准备。.
3. 这是让孩子们与不同体型和品种的动物接触，获得积极有益体验的绝佳机会。.
4. 享受来自四条腿朋友的无微不至的关怀。.
5. 家长可以拍照并在社交媒体上发布图片。 您可以标记 @VCAnimalServices 或 @VCASrescuereaders. 如果您的朋友看到喜欢的动物，这甚至可以帮助动物被领养！
6. 这是一项很棒的户外活动......远离屏幕。.

规则与期望：

1. 家长/监护人必须与孩子在一起，并始终给予全神贯注的关注。.
2. Readers must sit at a predetermined distance from the kennels.
3. 读者不得将手指靠近或穿过狗舍栏杆。.
4. No feeding of the animals unless you have approved VCAS treats to give to animals for good behavior.
