Story Dogs is a non for profit literacy organisation working in over 300 primary schools in Australia. In Byron Shire, we have 11 dog teams (volunteer and dog) assisting in 7 different schools and the Byron Library. There is something magical that happens when a child with reading difficulties spends 20 minutes reading to a non-judgemental furry friend. They lose their inhibitions and fear of being made fun of, and they start to actually enjoy reading!!! $4.00 covers the cost of one-on-one reading session with one of our Story Dog teams! $30.00 covers the cost of one or one reading sessions for one child during a school term. All funds raised go directly towards putting more dog teams into schools and thus helping more disadvantaged children learn to read. See our dog teams in action on https://www.storydogs.org.au

WOOF For Story Dogs

Wear Orange On Friday = WOOF!!

Help us to fund 100 new Dog Teams and help 500 children learn to read to ensure their bright future.


Because every Australian child deserves to be able to read.


Turn your office, workplace, home or community centre orange on the 25th of August and help us WOOF all over Australia.


Your donation will flow directly to recruiting, training, accrediting and placing new Dog Teams in schools that are calling out for more resources to help struggling readers.


Two years of COVID lockdowns and our children are behind in their reading. One very experienced Volunteer commented, "This is the first time in five years where all my students are non-readers, they can't even read 'and' or 'the'. "
