Story Dogs makes reading fun for children so they become lifelong readers. Because every Australian child deserves to be able to read. 

Help us deliver one-on-one weekly reading sessions.

Story Dogs receives no Government funding, and all our Dog Teams volunteer their time and precious dog.

When children read to a dog, the outcomes are amazing! It is a non-judgemental setting, the children's focus improves, their literacy skills increase and their confidence soars. The accepting, loving nature of dogs gives this program its magic and helps children relax, open up, try harder and have fun while reading to a friendly, calm dog. Woof!
