This poster about my branch library's "service dog" caught my eye. Apparently he's a licensed therapy dog that is trained to sit with your kid and listen to him or her read aloud. The program is called "Read With Mudge" after the Cynthia Rylant Henry and Mudge children's series. If only it were also open to lonely 28-year-olds...
Does he follow up with engaging questions to test reading comprehension and promote critical thinking?
ReplyDeleteHow very cool! I wish my library had something like that. ~Jen
