'Daisy' the delightful dog attended a recent Interact meeting at Wyndham Central College. Daisy is one of the Story Dogs that our club is sponsoring and she visits the Riverbend Primary School to assist Grade 2 students with their reading.
The concept of the Story Dogs program is to assist young children to improve their literacy skills and their self-confidence by reading to the dog. The accepting, loving nature of dogs gives this program its magic and helps children relax, open up, try harder and have fun while reading to a friendly, calm dog.
The Interact students (pictured above) loved the concept and are now raising funds to sponsor a dog too.
