Upcoming programs will include “Laura Ingalls Wilder” Lily lends an ear Students in Mrs. Harris’s classroom at Highland School in Midland Park are participating in a reading activity with Lily, a certified pet therapy dog. Lily is a Yorkshire Terrier who has been reading with people for the last two years. She enjoys sitting calmly while they read to her. She is an attentive listener, allowing children and others to read to her for extended periods of time. Since Lily is sweet and non-judgmental children experience less anxiety while they practice their reading. Students chose a book prior to Lily arriving and practiced reading multiple times, which increased fluency and confidence. Each child had an opportunity to sit next to Lily and read to her. They showed her the pictures as they read each page. Lily will continue to visit throughout the year. by ArtsPower on Sunday, Jan. 27, 2013, and “Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day” by TheatreworksUSA on Sunday, March 17.
