A Special Dog
Flossie may be a very special teacher at Hylands School in Essex, UK. She can't talk, but everyone makes friends with her. Flossie is a 10-month-old dog.
How does Flossie help in class? On workdays, at the school library, when students are reading English, she listens to them for two or three hours. So English classes are more interesting when students learn dog commands (命令) in English. After class, Flossie can help them cross the road when students take walks with her. And teachers help students not to be afraid of animals.
Studies show that children are very good when they read to pets. So the school can bring in the dog on Tuesday to help students read. Flossie isn't only a little dog. She goes to training classes on weekends and is really one of the best dogs.
"Reading to her could help because dogs don’t say something good or bad, but people do," said 11-year-old student Jacob Wicks.
