Lukukoira Martta reading dog
Would you like to practice reading aloud? A reading dog is a patient listener, so you don't have to feel nervous about reading with them. Reading skills improve with a reading dog! At Lumo, we have a wonderful reading dog, Martta, whom you can read to twice a month on Thursdays from 5 PM to 6 PM. In autumn 2026, the reading dog will be available on September 10th, September 24th, October 8th, October 22nd, November 5th, November 19th, December 3rd, and December 17th. Each reading session lasts a maximum of 15 minutes. You can read a book you've brought with you or choose one from the library's collection. The reading dog's handler will be present during the session. Recommended for ages 5 and up. Instructions for reading sessions: Book a reading slot at Lumon kirjasto's info desk or by phone at 043 825 1305. One reader at a time can practice reading aloud with the reading dog. Let's focus on reading – the reading dog is a reading buddy, not a playmate. Reading dogs enjoy being petted. However, please ask the owner for permission first.
