Tutors With Tails - Kids Read To Therapy Dogs (VIDEO)
Kids Read To Therapy Dogs

A lot of children have a hard time learning how to read, but some people believe the difficultly lies simply in a lack of practice, a direct result of having a lack of self confidence. Therapy Dog lets children practice reading stories to dogs. The canines don’t laugh, tease or get impatient, they’re content to lay with the child and listen, giving kids the space they need to feel more confident in their abilities.

Libraries and Schools schedule reading hours for children and Therapy Dogs. Children and dogs bond together over a shared story. The children's confidence and reading skills grow in a relaxing environment. It's that simple. Children who might be hesitant, embarrassed, or shy about their reading abilities feel at ease around a dog who is just there to listen to the story and not there to judge how well he or she reads. As Diane Mitchell, Branch Manager of Richland Public Library in Mississippi says, "More confidence in reading could lead to improved grades and improved grades mean happy children and parents."
