DOG TALE No. 1
Loves to Listen
BUSTER VISITS SCHOOL FOR LESSONS
-----
Buster is part Labrador Retriever but, rather than hunting in
the woods and fields, he goes to work at an elementary school in Pennsylvania. There
he is part of a teacher's "pet project" -- having kids read to canine visitors.
Kids love it, and it does seem to
stimulate their interest in reading when they can tell a story outloud to a visitor like
Buster rather than to their teacher. Click to find out why!
