Reading to My Buddy

Nicki hates reading aloud at school. When she stumbles over words, the other kids laugh at her. She decides to never talk again ... until she meets Buddy, the reading dog. The combination of gentle narrative and moment perfect photos make this a very inviting book for beginner readers. The Executive Director of the Therapy Animals/Reading Education Assistance Dogs® (R.E.A.D.®) states that "Reading to My Buddy captures the essence of why having a dog as a reading companion is so powerful and effective. But be forewarned--readers will be clamoring for reading dogs for themselves!" This easy reader book is accessed for US Grades 1 and 2 with a Flesch-Kincaid Reading Level Index of 1.8.
