We’ve mentioned previously how proud we are to be able to support Story Dogs, a marvellous program designed to assist young primary school children with their literacy.
A simple concept whereby the interaction with a calm (& very cute) dog, & a nonjudgmental, accepting, patient adult, away from any peer group pressure, provides an atmosphere where a child can develop their reading & focus skills.
Our Story Dog, Coco, is certainly cute, & we enjoy having Suzie Warwick, the regional coordinator for Story Dogs, come to our meeting to fill us in on how the program is progressing.
