in 1999. The presence of dogs has a calming effect on many people—hence their use in Pets as Therapy schemes (PAT). Many primary schools are being increasingly pressurized environments and children (like adults) generally do not respond well to such pressure. A dog creates an environment that immediately feels more relaxing and weling. Reading can be an independent activity, but can also be a pleasurable, shared social event. Children who are struggling to read benefit from the simple pleasure of reading to a loyal, loving listener. Children who are struggling to read, for whatever reason, need to build confidence and rediscover a motivation for reading. A dog is a reassuring, friendly audience who will not mind if mistakes are made. Children can read to the dog, uninterrupted。 ments will not be made. Errors can be addressed in other contexts at other times. For more experienced or capable readers, they can experiment with intonation and “voices”, knowing that the dog will respond positively—and building fluency further develops prehension in readers. For children who are struggling, reconnecting with the pleasure of reading is very important As Marylyn JagerAdams, a literacy (讀寫 ) scholar, noted in a seminal review of beginner reading in the US: “If we want children to learn to read well, we must find a way to attract them to read lots.” Reading to a dog can create a helpful balance, supporting literacy activities which may seem Jess appealing to a child. Children having difficulty with reading, for example, need focused support to develop their understanding of the alphabetic code (字母代碼 ).But this needs to be balanced with activities which support independent reading and social enjoyment or the child can bee less motivated. Creating a virtuous circle Breaking a negative cycle will inevitably lead to the creation of a virtuous circle—and sharing a good book with a dog enables children to apply their reading skills in a positive and enjoyable way. Research evidence in this area is rather limited, despite the growing popularity of the scheme. A 2021 systematic review of 48 studies—“Children Reading to Dogs: A Systematic Review of the Literature” by Hall, Ge and Millsdemonstrated some evidence for improvement in reading, but the evidence was not strong. There clearly is more work to do. but interest in reading to 3 t of to have grown through the evidence of case studies. The example, often given in the media, is that of Tony Nevett and his pet dog Danny. Tony and Danny?s involvement in a number of schools has been transformative, not only in terms of reading but also in promoting general wellbeing positive behavior among children with a diverse range of needs. So, reading to dogs could offer many benefits. As with any approach, it is not a curea within a languagerich literacy environment, there appears to be little to lose and much to gain.

The market has bee flooded with new panies in recent months. The bikesharing panies operate in a similar way. They use apps that allow users, after paying a deposit, to unlock the wheels with their smartphones. After the journey, users can leave bikes anywhere in public and pay a little money for the use. The service is very popular as it provides an effective solution to “the last kilometer” problem. The promoting of the bikesharing service is also raising questions about profitability, widespread bike vandalism (破壞 ) and theft, and growing government regulation.
