Interesting Fact - Reading
Pupils at Hyland School, in Chelmsford, Essex, are being encouraged to read to dogs to help build up their confidence.
(Research suggests children, especially those who struggle with their reading, can be nervous and stressed when reading aloud in class. Dogs are attentive, but they don't judge or correct pronunciation, or grammatical mistakes.
One pupil said said: “I think she likes me reading the Guinness Book Of Records as there are a lot of facts about dogs in there."
