Our public library has a program where dogs are brought in (with their owners) and kids read to them. They're in a decent sized program room and the kid and dog find a corner/space and sit on the floor together and the child reads. One rationale why this works is that the dog isn't critical of the reading skills the child has. The dog's owner is in the room I believe but not really 'with' their dog, so the dog/child are essentially alone.
