Clarke K-8 Students Welcome Canine Reading Buddy, Sunny
|
Sunny, a yellow Lab, has been joining students in their classes as a weekly “reading buddy.” A certified Bright Spot therapy dog, Sunny curls up on the floor while children take turns reading her stories.
Reading aloud in a traditional classroom setting can intimidate some school-age children, especially those struggling with reading, so an affectionate canine listener makes a big difference in advancing literacy and fostering interest in books.
