Reading to the Dogs

Can Dogs Help Kids Read?

Apparently so.  Studies show that reading aloud can help reading comprehension, and reading to a dog seems to be less intimidating than reading to a person.  CBS News aired a short news story on this, “Can Dogs Teach Kids to Read?“

Three Creeks Library in Salmon Creek has a Read to the Dogs event scheduled for Wednesday, October 21st from 5 to 7 pm for children ages five to twelve.

Registration begins October 14th.  Call Three Creeks Library at (360) 571-9696.

Got Your Salmon Creek Soccer Schedule?

Better Check Again.

Twas the night before games, and all through the house
Salmon Creek Soccer Club worked like Mighty Mouse!

Seems as though the computer generated schedules for Salmon Creek Soccer Club needed a bit of “tweaking” (technical jargon for correcting), and some teams may see some changes from their previously published schedule.

So please, if you are on a team, going to be watching a team, or getting a player to a game, or a coach, just recheck the schedule at Salmon Creek Soccer.
