Reading to Charlie !

 

I read about a new reading program that uses dogs to help make reading more enjoyable. The dogs go through a 6 week training period and learn to sit and "listen" while children read to them. There is just something about reading to a cute, fluffy dog that makes reading fun. The program has been very successful in helping struggling readers. So, since we have "the best dog in the world", I thought I would start our own Dog Reading Program. The boys didn't complain one bit when I asked them to read a story to Charlie ( our dog ). They did look at me funny though !
