Not sure how relevant this is but I worked at a dayschool for a beat and they had a few service dogs come in to sit with the children while the kids "read to the dog." Most doggies are really chill and the kids were able to read without fear of criticism or correction, and the dog was there always happy. Studies (don't ask me for references, dunno) show that by reading to a dog at a young age, people become much more confident readers.

But over time, students with better attitudes toward reading probably do more of it, and therefore get better at it. 1: https://phys.org/news/2017-05-therapy-dogs-literacy-attitudes-second-grade.html https://phys.org/news/2017-05-therapy-dogs-literacy-attitude...
