After witnessing first-hand the power of using dogs to make reading more accessible in schools, Angela interviews Janine Sigley, the co-founder of Story Dogs. Story Dogs is a non-profit organisation whose mission is to make reading fun for children so they become confident lifelong readers. In this episode, Angela and Janine talk about the importance of reducing the overwhelm of reading and helping kids approach reading through the lens of fun. The episode also covers ways teachers and parents can help to foster a love of reading, even in the most reluctant reader.
