Animal Assisted Reading

Young people who participate in a Animal Assisted Reading will:

  1. Practice their read-aloud skills. What better way to practice reading aloud than to do it with animals who won’t judge whatever reading level you are at!

  2. Make a difference in the lives of farmed animal friends by providing enrichment to better their quality of life. 

  3. Virtually meet and learn about a few farmed animals and some of the ways they are just like us & we are just like them!

Virtual Sanctuary Story Time

​

Are you a young person who likes animals?

 

We have the opportunity for young people to provide a compassionate service to our animals from the safety and comfort of their own home!

Join us for Sanctuary Story Time with an Animal (or two) as our Event Coordinator, Clara Hart, who reads farm stories.

Ideal for children ages 3-6.
