'I would like to say a big ‘Thank You’ to you, the dogs and all the volunteers who gave us a lasting experience with the Reading Dogs Programme.
It was indeed a great initiative to get our little ones to read by raising the confidence in them – not just in English but in Arabic too. It was thrilling to see all the positive effects dogs have on children reading. The feedback we’ve received was gratifying and encouraging. Thanks once again for all the support and the great initiative.'

'This was the second time we had Reading Dogs at our nursery and the furry friends did not disappoint either time. Our children are emerging readers, so we use multiple ways and approaches to ease them into reading and making the experience fun for them. It was amazing to see both times how confidently they read to the dogs and how eager they were to play with them and pet them without any signs of fear'.
