SALINAS, California (KSBW) — Students at Kammann Elementary School in Salinas participated in the Horse Powered Reading program today, which uses horses to help improve literacy skills.
The program, run by the nonprofit Hope, Horses and Kids, uses the unique bond between humans and horses to help students improve their reading skills.
The nonprofit said, “By integrating horses into the learning process, kids stay focused and are more likely to retain information.”
The program is free to students, and organizers hope to bring it to more schools in the future.
