Every School Needs a Reading Dog
(1) Have you ever been too nervous to read out loud? A calm dog could help. I think every school should have a reading dog. (2) First, a dog listens without laughing. Shy readers can practice without worry. (3) Another reason is that reading to a dog is fun. At Pine School, kids read longer on the days the dog visits.
