Rescue Readers was a program at MSPCA (an animal shelter in Jamaica Plain). It was designed to boost 6 to 10-year old’s reading confidence and help animals at the same time! In 25-minute sessions children (accompanied by an adult) read out loud to an audience of animals such as cats, rabbits, and birds. Children got to practice their reading skills and adoptable pets gained valuable social time. The program was offered on select weekends and required registration.
According to MSPCA's website, this program is not mentioned as of March 28, 2025.
