Reading with Rover is a fantastic charity. They bring service dogs into schools, libraries and bookstores so kids can read to the dogs. Watching my child lay next to a dog and read the book he picked out is an incredible experience. The dog doesn't care if my child is a perfect reader; if he mispronounces a word or skips a sentance, he just lays there and listens without judgement.
