Kids could read to horses
It was then when she thought of an idea about letting the kids read to the horses. Gooch got the support of her husband, Jaquan Salaam, to launch Saddle Up and Read. Over the past three years, the nonprofit has had over 500 children read with the founder s horses.
Gooch would have the kids read either at the farm, libraries, or even in school. She never had a set schedule because she found that those who needed to learn had the hardest time finding transportation.
More at ease with the fun reading environment
She allowed the kids to read to the horses whenever they could get there. She found that the fun reading environment has been helpful to help ease and engage the children. The founder also noted that families also enjoy and see how they encourage reading at home too.
