This a very cool program.

It seems silly at first glance, but it does really help kids build confidence when reading out loud and it is also a program that helps kids with some stuttering issues.

I am glad to see it is offered here.

I am glad to see the library is doing this.  These programs have a super-duper-high success rate across the country

The do for sure. I only recently started looking into them when the dog owner told me she wanted to help kick start the program and I was so pleased with the outcome the program receives where ever it is implemented.  Incredible.

I was told that there's so much interest, they're looking to add another day! I'm going to go to the library SOON and check this out.

Chopper talks often. It's usually in the form of "Yes, Kierstin, you can have a cookie."
