Introduce 'reading dogs' to all primary schools in England
Research shows that children can get very stressed with reading aloud in class. Reading to dogs is a good way of stopping children feeling scared - dogs do not make comments or tell you off for getting things wrong and they always listen. All primary schools should have access to a 'reading dog.'
The Kennel Club already run a 'Bark and Read' scheme https://www.thekennelclub.org.uk/barkandread
