Last Thursday Bailey had his first reading session at Pinehurst Elementary School. We worked with six different students from Kindergarten, 1st, 2nd and 3rd grades. We will be going every Thursday morning. This is part of the Canine Assisted Reading Education program (C.A.R.E.) Bailey took it all in stride laying between the student and me while the student read to him. They say that students reading skills improve dramatically because reading to a dog is less stressful than reading to all of their classmates. So from now on it's Monday with the old folks at the Health Center and Thursday with the kids.
