Walter was ‘all ears’
SOME of the youngest visitors to the Port Fairy Library earlier this week had the chance to read to a very special four-legged visitor.
Walter the dog was “all ears” when children took turns at reading books to their new friend on Monday morning.
According to librarian Athena Morton, reading to dogs is a great way for children to have fun while improving their literacy skills.
“The presence of a furry friend can make the reading experience even more enjoyable and engaging for young children,” Ms Morton said.
“And Walter was certainly a big hit. He sat very patiently as each child took turns to read some of their favourite books. And he absolutely loved the attention and the pats that followed at the end of each story.”
Walter’s visit proved a wonderful way to kick start week two of school holiday activities at the library.
