A few weeks ago, I attended a workshop for the R.E.A.D program:

This program advocates children reading to pets to help build the child's reading skills and reading confidence. The dogs are un-biased listeners who do not mind if the children read slowly or have trouble with some words. The results and improvement in children's reading who participate is amazing.
Today, I received the official welcome packet from the R.E.A.D program notifying us that Winston and I are card carrying members!

As a kid, I spent many an hour reading to my dog, Raggs, the wondermutt. I have always loved books and reading. It should be fun to participate in this program with Winston!

So, be on the lookout for us at the local library. We will be the Girl and the Glen curled up with a book!
