Events › Read to a Dog

Read to a Dog gives kids the chance to read to a non-judgmental listener, one who will accept the story exactly as they read it. For many children, this allows them a rare chance to experience stress free reading.

Being able to relax and have fun reading increases motivation to read, which is an essential element in becoming a successful reader.

She is a very good listener.
