About

A wonderful programme where children get to practise their reading skills in a relaxed, pressure-free setting — snuggled up with a friendly therapy dog! Reading aloud to a dog is far less daunting than reading to an adult, and research shows it can boost confidence, self-esteem, and focus.

Each child enjoys a 15-minute one-on-one session with a trained, temperament-tested therapy dog and their handler. The dogs are patient, attentive, and completely non-judgmental — making them the perfect reading companions.
