Winter 2025
Have you ever considered reading to your pet? It might sound a little silly, but it’s a creative and powerful way to inspire children to read! Through GGAB’s Reading With Shepherd Daisy program, kids are encouraged to read aloud to their pets—or even their favorite stuffed animals—for just 15 minutes a day.
This program helped mark the beginning of our ongoing partnership with Animal Humane New Mexico, bringing books to children and highlighting the remarkable benefits of reading aloud. Through this daily habit, kids enhance their reading comprehension, oral fluency, and vocabulary—all while creating special moments with their pets.
The success of Reading With Shepherd Daisy has inspired the creation of other GGAB literacy initiatives, such as Read-A-Thons, expanding the impact of this unique program. These events continue to foster a love of reading and build lifelong skills in young readers.
