A good tail!

PALS for Reading is in its 4th successful year at Radnor. Our last reading for the year occurred on On April 21, 2009. Specially selected children read to trained therapy animals to practice reading skills. Confidences levels increase along with their reading skills and the animals gets lots and lots of love and hear a great story too. Check it out below. Thanks to my best friend The Snakoiler for his happy music!
