Canine Chronicles - Literacy support and Encouragement

$14,300 inc GST

Imagine the impact of a therapy dog and mentor visiting your school each week, dedicating a full day to supporting two groups of students through your choice of literacy programs. The day continues with engaging literacy and library games, all with the encouragement of our therapy dog.

Two programs within this package are subject to evaluations. Teacher professional development may be subject to evaluation (please discuss this with Canine Comprehension management)
