Testimonials
My husband and I are so pleased with the Nor’wester Readers program. Hannah has given our son the individual attention he needs. She sits and listens to every word Kyle is trying to say. As a result, Kyle has improved his reading, oral speech, and his self confidence.

The patience exhibited by Sadie while my students read to her was outstanding! She allowed the children to pet her, lie on her, kiss her, and she made them feel safe, secure, and valued.

This experience has been a PHENOMENAL experience, not only for me as a teacher, but also for the children. I am so happy we were able to be a part of this program. It is amazing!

Your organization is an asset to the Council Rock School District. I am forever grateful that my daughter had the opportunity to experience a therapy dog.
– Parent
This program allows our students to open up and take risks that they may normally have difficulty doing on a daily basis. They look forward to our dog therapy days!

Throughout the school year, Laila became a positive influence for a student who was previously “stuck,” and in turn, the student made great gains in becoming a more flexible thinker and easing his frustration independently.
– Teacher
Your program made a difference in my daughter’s life. She has a diagnosed learning disability and is easily frustrated. Well, that did not happen when she was with Daisy! The dog helped build her confidence because Daisy helped her feel comfortable. Daisy did not judge her or know if she made a mistake.
– Parent
Sadie’s presence provided an encouraging, welcoming, and loving environment where disabilities became abilities.

We have been able to incorporate speech and language skills during times with Moose. In addition, Moose has provided extra incentive for students to be on task during the week in school.
– Teacher
Your program is priceless! Each year I have seen my more reluctant readers grow to confident readers. Thank you for allowing us to participate.
