There is one big difficulty in Jack's life - he doesn't read well. Letters are difficult to form into words, and words completely refuse to turn into sentences. Everyone in the class is already reading very quickly, only Jack is lagging behind. Of course, he is ashamed and sad - what if his friends think he is stupid? The problem is that the adults who ask him to read out loud are very impatient. Mom keeps repeating “Don’t worry,” my sister twitches her leg and glances at her watch, and the teacher sighs loudly. But one day Jack comes up with an idea. He helps his sister at the shelter, and there are dogs there that need to be accustomed to humans. For starters, so that they at least are not afraid of the human voice. What if he reads aloud to this cute and very timid puppy Asti? Maybe this will help?
