Welcome to stop number 7 on our Reading Road Trip! The journey is nearing an end, and we’ve had a great time driving through open country and construction zones, seeing the sights at overlooks and mountaintops, taking a breather at a rest stop, and learning something new at a museum. This week is all about having fun! If this is your first week with us, you can still grab  our map  and join us in the adventure.

Snack and Story: Books and Treats to Share with Your Dog

by Tina Cho

Most children naturally love dogs, and so reading books with dog characters is a great way to foster a love of reading. Children can also read to their dogs or other pets.  If they don't have one, they could read to a stuffed animal. My students like doing that in our classroom. 

Some kids read to dogs with a purpose. I came across this Instagram story about a boy who reads to shelter dogs who are waiting to be adopted. He doesn't like to see them lonely.

And just as kids and adults like to snack and read, dogs can too. Here's an easy homemade dog treat recipe that my sisters uses: Peanut Butter Dog Treats from The Cookie Rookie.

Why not share a snack and a story with a pet (real or stuffed) in your life? Here are some books about dogs to get you started:

The Pigeon Wants a Puppy by Mo Willems
