Reading to the Dogs

Can Dogs Help Kids Read?

reading-dog Apparently so. Studies show that reading aloud can help reading comprehension, and reading to a dog seems to be less intimidating than reading to a person. CBS News aired a short news story on this, “Can Dogs Teach Kids to Read?“

Three Creeks Library in Salmon Creek has a Read to the Dogs event scheduled for Wednesday, October 21st from 5 to 7 pm for children ages five to twelve.

Registration begins October 14th. Call Three Creeks Library at (360) 571-9696.
