Pet Assisted Literacy Skills (P.A.L.S.)

We have P.A.L.S. teams which consist of dogs and their trainers who have been Delta Certified and further trained in aiding children with reading skills and comprehension. Our teams can come to your library, school, or after school program and would love to listen to your child(ren) read.

This program has been found to increase reading for pleasure for reluctant readers, as well as reading comprehension in children who are experiencing difficulty with reading.

If you have questions concerning this program, contact Mary Grayson, Director of Humane Education, at 630-323-5630 x 7 or email her at humane.ed@hinsdalehumanesociety.org.
