Reading to dogs is an unusual way to help children improve their literacy skills With their
shining brown eyes,wagging tails,and unconditional love,dogs can provide the non-judgmental listeners
needed for a beginning reader to gain confidence according to Intermountain Therapy Animals
(ITA) in Salt Lake City.The group says it is the first program in the country to use dogs to help develop
literacy in children,with the introduction of Reading Education Assistance Dogs (READ).
The Salt Lake City Public Library is sold on the idea.Literacy specialists admit that children who read
below the level of their fellow pupils are often afraid of reading aloud in a group,often have lower self-
respect,and regard reading as a headache; said Lisa Myton,manager of the children's department.
Last November the two groups started;Dog Day Afternoon in the children's department of the main
library.About 25 children attended each of the four Saturday-afternoon classes,reading for half an hour.
Those who attended three of the four classes received a pawgraphed; book at the last class.
The program was so successful that the library plans to repeat it in April.According to Dana Thumpowsky,
public relations manager.

对着狗狗读书是一种不同寻常的帮助儿童提高读写能力的方法.狗狗会睁着他们棕色的大眼睛,摇着尾巴,用它们最无私的爱,充当孩子们的倾听者,据盐湖城山间医疗动物协会称,这种毫无偏见的倾听,能够为初学读写的人获得自信.这一组织说,他们是由帮助阅读教育狗这一协会的介绍,首次建立使用狗来帮助儿童开发读写能力的项目.
盐湖城公共图书馆非常赞成这一观点.儿童协会的经理 Lisa Myton说,读写专家认为,读写水平比同龄人低的孩子通常很害怕在小组内大声朗读,他们通常也比较没有自信,并且认为阅读是件很头疼的事儿.去年十一月,有两个小组在儿童协会的主要图书馆开展了狗狗下午的活动.大约25个小朋友参加了一个月里每一个周六下午的小课程,阅读半小时.凡是参加了3次到4次活动的小朋友,可以在最后一节课的时候领到一本狗狗爪印书.这一项目非常成功,因此公共关系经理Dana Thumpowsky说今年四月图书馆计划再举办一次这样的活动.
