When children read to a Story Dog, something special happens.
They feel calm. They feel safe. They keep trying and confidence begins to grow.

One Friday
One school community
One easy act:  wearing orange to help children build confidence through reading.

Together, we can create brighter reading journeys for students who need it most.

By hosting WOOF event or making a donation, you’re helping more children across Australia experience the joy and confidence that comes from reading with a Story Dog.

Story Dogs handlers are volunteers trained to help emergent readers. We create a safe, fun, supportive, non judgemental environment for primary school aged children needing assistance with literacy. Each week a team will work one-on-one with 5-6 children in their school environment.

We help over 2935 children across Australia each week.
We partner with 420 schools in Vic, NSW, SA, Tas, QLD, WA and ACT.
Currently another 285 schools are on the waitlist for a Sory Dogs team.
