Reading to dogs is an unusual way to help children improve their literacy skills(读写能力)．With their shining brown eyes, wagging tails, and unconditional love, dogs can provide the nonjudgmental listeners needed for a beginning reader to gain confidence(自信心), according to Intermountain Therapy Animals(ITA)in Salt Lake City．The group says it is the first program in the country to use dogs to help develop literacy in children, with the introduction of Reading Education Assistance Dogs(READ)．
The Salt Lake City Public Library is sold on the idea．“Literacy specialists admit that children who read below the level of their fellow pupils are often afraid of reading aloud in a group, often have lower self-respect, and regard reading as a headache,”said Lisa Myron, manager of the children's department．
Last November the two groups started“Dog Day Afternoon”in the children's department of the main library．About 25 children attended each of the four Saturday-afternoon classes, reading for half an hour．Those who attended three of the four classes received a“paragraphed”book at the last class．
The program was so successful that the library plans to repeat it in April, according to Dana Thumpowsky, public relations manager．

A Band plays in Lumley Park every Sunday afternoon．I often attend these open-air concerts if the weather is fine, because I find ita restful ways of passing time, and because the band plays many kinds of music：dance music, marching music, anything with a tune that you can whistle; you know what I mean．
One Sunday, there was a blind girl in the front row of the audience, just behind the band-leader．She was about fourteen or fifteen years of age, I should think．She had been sitting down until about halfway through the programme, when the band started to play The Blue Danube(蓝色多瑙河)by Strauss．I’d never heard them play this particular piece before; and there was something magical about the way they played it then．They had only played a few bars when this blind girl stood up and began waving her arms about in time to the music, just as the band-leader himself was doing．
After a while, I could see that more and more members of the band were watching the blind girl instead of the band-leader．And the leader must have noticed this himself, because he turned round and watched her, and saw that she was keeping perfect time．He was a very thoughtful man, that band-leader; I took my hat off to him．He moved to one side little by little so that the band could see the blind girl better, and after a while he stopped conducting altogether．The band knew the piece quite well, of course, so things weren’t likely to go seriously wrong．But she dept time beautifully, and she made it clear when she wanted certain passages to be loud or soft, just as the band-leader himself had done．Since then, to be quite honest, I’ve never heard The Blue Danube played better anywhere．
I have seldom heard an audience clap more loudly than that audience, when the music was over．I should think they must have heard the noise on the other side of the town．When the blind girl sat down, even from where I was sitting I could see that there were tears running down her face．
