Looking for a gentle way for your young reader to build confidence? Join the Calgary Humane Society for a special session where children practice reading in the calm presence of shelter animals. This program is designed for youth aged six and up, offering a unique opportunity to connect with literacy while meeting adoptable friends like cats, bunnies, and birds. Each visit begins with a short presentation about the society’s mission, followed by time to read to a specific animal assigned to your child. Reading through the enclosure helps young readers focus and feel supported, while also promoting animal welfare awareness. Bring your favorite book or choose one from the on-site selection. Adults must remain within arm's reach of children throughout the visit.
