Is your child having trouble reading? The surprising ways reading to a dog may improve their skills, by StanleyCoren
Animals, although there had been a number of earlier studies that had demonstrated the usefulness of dogs to assist primary school-level readers.
to the child the dog provides positive reinforcement that improves both self-esteem and motivation in the child.This recent study attempted to compare the progress the children made in oral reading and reading comprehension under two conditions, namely with the child reading to an adult versus the child reading to a dog. The children were 7 to 8 years old, and each received both types of intervention, adult versus dog, in random order.
A number of measures were taken to assess the progress of the children and their reactions to this additional supportive training. At the end of each session, the children were asked about how they felt, and it became clear that they were reacting positively to both conditions, although they seemed to be more enthusiastic and more motivated when reading to the dogs. For example, one child commented,"I like reading to dogs because they are great listeners.
"We found that while reading improved in both conditions, the canine-assisted reading support contributed to greater gains in both oral reading and reading comprehension scores than did the adult-assisted intervention."
