INDIANAPOLIS -- Remember when one of the first stories for students learning to read was about a dog named "Spot"?
Students at Indianapolis Public School #34 truly turned tails and tales at the south side school by reading to dogs during their Spring Break Read-a-Thon.
Third-through-sixth graders at Eleanor Skillern School 34 logged more than 400-hours of reading over the course of their two-week break.
The chance to read to therapy dogs was their reward as they work to improve their reading skills.
The much-anticipated annual event is organized by a group called Paws and Think, which partners with the school.
Twenty students entered a lottery to win their chance to read to Rover -- and Spot.
Besides a chance to read to a receptive audience, they enjoyed a pizza party for lunch. Any food that fell on the floor? No doubt clean-up was no problem.
