Reading dog Artemis for children and adolescents with reading/learning difficulties in Zurich, school classes, after-school care centers, libraries and much more, as well as for private clients

Children read to a dog

  • to let go of inhibitions and fears
  • against stress and pressure to perform
  • animals are impartial and non-judgmental
  • have a positive and calming influence on the learning process and climate
  • motivate in a natural way
  • together with the dog, children discover books in a completely new way
  • effective counterforce in the digital era
  • the 'reading aloud' experience is given a new positive character
  • cldren's anticipation and intrinsic commitment are high
  • breaks for exercise, play and fun are central – for the clients and for Artemis – not everything should be quiet and serious
