Reading to a therapy dog is a proven and effective way to help children improve literacy and communication skills. Reading aloud to a specially trained, calm, and nonjudgmental dog creates a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere where children feel comfortable and uninhibited, leading to increased confidence and reduced stress. These positive effects support stronger reading development and communication abilities. Therapy Dog Brigade’s specially trained and certified therapy dogs, volunteering alongside their owner-handlers, visit schools, libraries, and other community settings to provide a safe and supportive space for young readers, inspiring them to enjoy reading and grow into lifelong learners.
