Reading Dogs Promote Reading Motivation in Children

Reading Dogs in Action is an innovative event at the Central Library of Regensburg that helps elementary school children improve their reading skills in a playful way. This wonderful opportunity promotes reading motivation, which is the key to developing children's reading competence.

What can children expect at this event?

Children have the chance to read with specially trained reading dogs. These dogs are calm and patient, creating a stress-free environment. Children can develop their reading skills in a supportive atmosphere, without fear of making mistakes.

• Promotion of reading motivation: Through playful interaction with the dogs, interest in reading is awakened.
• Boosting self-confidence: Children gain more confidence in their reading abilities.
• Individual support: Each child has the opportunity to read at their own pace.

The event takes place on June 15, 2026 in the children's department of the Central Library, which is located in the historic Thon-Dittmer-Palais directly at Haidplatz. This is a wonderful opportunity for your children to ignite their love for reading.
