About this activity

Reading to a therapy dog is a wonderful activity—especially for building confidence and reducing reading anxiety in kids (and even teens or adults). Pet Partners Why Reading to a Dog Helps Dogs: Don’t interrupt Don’t correct mistakes Don’t judge pronunciation Provide calm, comforting presence This helps children: Feel less self-conscious Build fluency through practice Increase confidence Associate reading with positive feelings Some children who resist reading to adults are surprisingly eager to read to a dog. Is It Only for Struggling Readers? Not at all. It’s great for: Early readers English language learners Children with anxiety Kids who simply love dogs
