Stop children who like dogs!

Was it not to help the kids read. Reading in front of dogs to lower the anxiety?

I used to bring my dog to the library for this. Kids read him stories. He loved it.

So if you adopt a child is it up to date with vaccines and do you get sample packs of food for them? A box of Cheerios and chips as a treat?

i don't have time for the moral implications of of this post.

If you really wanna comfort the dogs try adopting them and giving them a loving home.

Practicing reading out loud helps the kids, too. This is truly a win-win.

That is wonderful, yet one of the saddest things I have seen so far today.

So this photos throws off everyone in our family because it looks exactly like me and my two cousins sitting side by side circa 2006

At my kids’ school they have a similar program, but they bring the dogs to the school library and children read to them there.

They do this at a lot of shelters they did it at the one I used to work at before COVID. It helps the kids a lot too bc they get reading 1

Skills without the pressure of reading to a person, esp an adult. It's really sweet. 2

The children are actually just earning spare cash to pay for their cancer treatments

I thought it was for the dogs...
funnyinthehead
I was genuinely wondering whether it meant the dogs or the children

I was thinking maybe something like it could help my friend with social anxiety…

It does help reduce reading anxiety—I t’s less pressure to practice reading to someone who can’t judge how well you’re doing it.

Please don’t read to cats, it can be very discouraging. And they don’t appreciate pop-up books.

An exgf once woke from a dream and asked do I remember when our cat was a kitten and would read books to us in French
