There are many benefits to reading with a therapy dog. Here are just a few:
- Dogs are non-judgmental so children are less self-conscious, the dog won’t laugh or correct.
- Most children have a natural affinity and bond with dogs and those that are hesitant can learn to trust a therapy dog by reading a book to the dog.
- Children are allowed to improve their reading skills in a fun, relaxed atmosphere.
- Results show that it decreases stress over reading aloud in class.
- It can enhance self-esteem, motivate speech and build confidence.
Brand new readers, apprehensive readers, and avid readers alike will benefit from snuggling up to a canine companion.
