Paws to Read builds excitement about reading. Most children seem to naturally love being around a dog. Imagine the positive motivation that reading to a dog gives to a child as they sit next to, read to, and pat a sweet, gentle, and calm dog. Socializing with dogs makes children feel special and encourages them to read, perhaps sounding out words or asking questions. Children feel less self-conscious about reading aloud in the presence of one whose skills don’t exceed their own and they learn to associate reading with something pleasant. What better way to improve a skill than by practicing the skill!!
