與流浪者一起閱讀
歡迎Petbucket
Dogs in the program visit schools, bookstores and libraries to listen to children read them stories. It has been found children who are nervous to read aloud to peers and adults are calmer when reading to a dog - who never pokes fun or criticises if they have difficulty deciphering a word.
The program hopes to improve children’s comfort in reading aloud, help them advance to higher reading levels, increase their empathy and social skills and given them greater confidence. Reading with Rover aims above all to help children learn to love the world of books.
The program is community based, with helpful volunteers and owners dedicating their time to helping kids in need. Interested people and their pets must first be evaluated before they are allowed to participate. It is necessary for dogs to be calm, gentle and happy to sit quietly for extended periods of time.
Children are generally registered for weekly sessions for around two months to give their skills a chance to develop.
The results of the program are universally glowing. Parents report their children now nag them to take them to the library so they can find more books and read to the visiting dogs. In one group, four in five students doubled the number of words they could read correctly and the entire group showed great improvement in their reading accuracy.
在一個顯著的案例中,一名6歲的阿斯伯格綜合症患者被帶到一個閱讀羅孚會議。對她母親的驚訝,她的女兒突然開始用她從未在父母或老師面前表現出能力的方式流利地閱讀了一條狗。當她被新的狗朋友感覺舒適時,這個女孩第一次能夠展示她隱藏的技能。她的母親對她眼前發生的變化感到驚訝。
Another girl began visiting the Reading with Rover dogs when she was in 3rd grade. At that point, there were strong concerns about her literacy levels as she was deemed almost two grades behind the skill-levels of her peers. Now in 5th grade she has spent two years in the program. Now she is reading at an 8th grade level.
Currently the program operates only in the Washington area of America but there is hope it will spread, given its popularity and success.
