Hey Doggy, Listen Up!
16 March @ 11:15 am – 12:15 pm
Meet Nessa – like all booklovers, she loves nothing more than a cuddle and to listen to stories. Book your slot to come and read her a story, give her stroke or to show her a picture-book.
If you, your child or someone you know gets worried or nervous about reading aloud, finds it tricky sometimes to read the words or feels anxious in a shop or social space then spending some time with a gentle, calming, good listener like Nessa can help. She can put you at ease, doesn’t judge you, can help calm any nerves and wants to hear what you’ve got to say.
Reading to, stroking or just being around a therapy dog has been proven to help build confidence in many ways and to improve reading and if there’s one thing we are passionate about, it’s helping to spread the joy of books and bookshops and breaking down any barriers to reading.
Limited slots available so Mr B’s advise booking early. If you have any specific requirements you’d like to talk through to make the visit as comfortable and beneficial to you as possible, please let them know. The sessions will be held in a small quiet space upstairs at Mr B’s. The sessions can be for children or adults.
