Mission Statement:

SIT STAY READ is the leading literacy organization in the United States to use reading assistance dogs to improve reading skills and foster the love of learning in children from low-income families.

Innovative programs bring much needed reading help to 7-9 year old children in public schools and community facilities in Chicago’s poorest neighborhoods. The organization’s trained fluency volunteers and certified dog teams make reading less intimidating for the children and, in doing so, more fun.

The goal of every program is to improve reading fluency and make reading fun!
