Animal Reading Program Helps Boosts Children's Self-Confidence

Bark is an all-volunteer program that encourages children to increase their reading skills and self-confidence by reading aloud to therapy dogs. Students find reading in front of classmates intimidating, but love to read to the four-legged animals. Kathy Vara reports from Santa Monica for this week’s Life Connected on the NBC4 News at 11 on Sunday, Oct. 12, 2014.
