Sad Dog Literacy

Sad Dog Literacy is a low cost, high impact small group intervention for children aged 5-9 who are struggling to make expected progress in literacy. Sad Dog Literacy uses the highly innovative technique of combining therapeutic stories with tried and tested methods of teaching literacy. This approach has been shown to engage and motivate the most disadvantaged children with additional needs including those with autism, ADHD, cognition and learning needs, speech and language needs and those who have had adverse childhood experiences. Research trials of Sad Dog Literacy have shown significant improvements in children’s attention and listening skills, word reading, fluency, comprehension, handwriting, spelling and sentence composition.
