Can Dogs Help Kids Read?
Apparently so. Studies show that reading aloud can help reading comprehension, and reading to a dog seems to be less intimidating than reading to a person. CBS News aired a short news story on this, “Can Dogs Teach Kids to Read?“

Registration begins August 12. Call Three Creeks Library at (360) 571-9696.
