The backpacks are packed, the pencils are sharpene The backpacks are packed, the pencils are sharpened and a brand-new school year is underway—which means it’s the perfect time to sign your child up for Book Buddies! ❤️ Book Buddies is a special, award-winning program at the Humane Society of Greater Dayton that gives children the opportunity to practice their reading skills by reading aloud to animals in our shelter. And trust us… our pets are the BEST listeners. They never interrupt, never say “that’s not how you pronounce it” and they’re always happy to hear another story! 📖 How does Book Buddies work? Children are matched with a shelter animal and spend time reading to them in a calm, comfortable setting. As your child reads, they’re building valuable skills while helping an animal feel safe, relaxed and connected. It’s a simple activity with a BIG impact. ✨ For kids: • Builds reading confidence and fluency • Encourages a love of reading • Provides a non-judgmental audience • Helps children practice speaking aloud • Creates a meaningful connection with animals 🐾 For shelter pets: • Provides enrichment and mental stimulation • Helps reduce stress and anxiety • Gives animals positive one-on-one attention • Helps them become more comfortable around new people • Makes their time at the shelter a little brighter Whether your child is an enthusiastic reader, working on building confidence or simply really loves animals, Book Buddies is a wonderful way to turn reading time into something meaningful. 📚 This school year, let’s make reading an adventure—for kids AND shelter pets! Sign your child up for Book Buddies online in a time that fits your schedule. Give them the chance to become one of our animals’ favorite storytime companions. 👉 Learn more and sign up at https://hsdayton.org/programs-services/community-outreach/book-buddies/
