Animals make ideal reading companions. Bidawee's "Reading to Dogs" program provides a fun, non-judgemental environment where children can improve their literacy skills. Teachers report that children participating in "Reading to Dogs" demonstrate improved reading skills and improved self-confidence. Mrs. Austin, our second grade teacher, and Chloe have been certified to be a therapy team. They have undergone reading training through Bidawee. Chloe is a shih tzu and is a hypoallergenic dog, so we do not have any allergy concerns. Here is a picture of the children in Mrs. Austin's class reading to Chloe, who is sitting on her special quilt!
