Canine Assistants is a non-profit organization that trains and provides service dogs for children and adults who have physical disabilities or other special needs. Research has demonstrated that there is a definite connection between children and animals; therefore, we are capitalizing on this wonderful relationship to enhance reading development. The K-9 reading program gives opportunity for students and the K-9 program puppies to practice skills. Students practice reading skills and the dogs practice people skills. Our Creek View ESOL 3rd and 4th graders had been selected for this program and have been enjoying the reading dogs that come to our school on Wednesdays.
