Tales to Tails Reading Program at Browning Elementary
Jennifer Washam, Barrio Dogs Education & Therapy Coordinator, and Rescue Education Ambassador Dog (R*E*A*D*), Chloe, have been working with four 3rd grade Browning Elementary students in the organization’s "Tales to Tails" program once a week since March. This program works with students on a one-to-one basis where they read to a therapy canine in a comfortable environment free from criticism and stress. The program's mission is to empower the students to gain confidence, self-esteem and fluency in their reading skills by being given the chance to read at their own pace while being comforted by an unconditional loving and critical-free companion canine. After only three sessions with these 3rd grade students a great improvement has already been observed.
