The R.E.A.D. (Reading Education Assistance Dogs) program improves children's reading
and communication skills by employing a powerful method: reading to a dog. But not just
any dog. R.E.A.D. dogs are registered therapy animals who volunteer with their
owner/handlers as a team, going to schools, libraries, and many other settings as reading
companions for children.
