STORY DOGS RESOURCE LIBRARY

Gentle reading supports for growing confidence

At Story Dogs, we believe children learn best when they feel safe, supported and encouraged.

This Resource Library is here to offer simple, calm tools that support children as they build confidence through reading. These resources are shared with members of the Story Dogs Family
and are designed to be practical, reassuring and easy to use

at home, at school or wherever reading happens.

HOW TO USE THESE RESOURCES

You don’t need to use everything.

Choose one idea.
Try it gently.
Notice what helps.

Some resources are best read once.
Others are helpful to print, save or return to when you need a reminder.

There is no “right way” — just what works for the child beside you.

The Power of Pausing

A gentle reminder of why silence during reading helps children think, try and build confidence.
