Our Raffle at this Exhibition will help support Story Dogs.
To improve literacy skills, instead of reading to a big class, children are encouraged to read to a companion dog.
In a quiet area of the school, the children read to the dog. The dogs do not judge, laugh or criticise, which promotes relaxation and lowers blood pressure, allowing the child to proceed at their own pace.
Sponsorship provides volunteers with training, plus insurance for the dog and handler and provides new, fun picture books.
