Read to a Dog (ages 0-10)

Read to a Dog: A Unique Literacy Event for Children in Frederick County

The Brunswick Branch Library in Frederick County, Maryland, is excited to announce an engaging event for young readers. On Saturday, September 26, 2026, from 10:30 AM to 11:30 AM, children aged 0-10 are invited to participate in the “Read to a Dog” program, designed to enhance literacy skills in a fun and interactive environment.

This unique initiative allows children to practice their reading skills aloud to a real dog, creating a stress-free atmosphere that encourages confidence and enjoyment in reading. Research has shown that reading to animals can significantly improve children’s reading abilities while simultaneously fostering a love for books in a warm and welcoming setting.

The event is open to various age groups, including children from birth to age 5 and those in elementary school. This inclusive approach ensures that all young readers can benefit from the experience, whether they are just starting to read or looking to refine their skills. Parents and guardians are encouraged to attend and support their children during this delightful literacy-building activity.
