This is a heartwarming story from the Literacy Volunteers of Collier County<\/a>.\u00a0 Many thanks to Rita Bleasdale <\/strong>and Ingrid Fernandez<\/strong>, as they both contributed to this newsletter article that is being posted here with their consent.<\/p>\n

Lila, an eight-month-old mixed breed dog, is helping a woman, illiterate in her own language as well as in English, learn to speak English.<\/p>\n

Lila belongs to Ingrid Fernandez, Program Coordinator and a tutor with Literacy Volunteers of Collier County (LVCC). She acquired the dog from The Naples Humane Society when Lila was a puppy, changed the animal\u2019s name from Fiona to Lila (which translates to \u201cplayful\u201d in some languages), and occasionally took Lila to work. It was at the LVCC offices that Ingrid discovered Lila could teach English.<\/p>\n

Well-Behaved<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I want to show my student what a word means, I give her a picture but when it comes to verbs, actions are difficult to demonstrate in pictures,\u201d said Ingrid, who added that she realized by using Lila, her student began to understand action words.\u00a0 \u201cWhen my student says \u2018sit\u2019 or asks for \u2018high five\u2019 Lila does as she is told and if my student makes a mess of it and doesn\u2019t say the correct word, Lila does not get impatient.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Ingrid\u2019s student, who started work when she was eleven years old in her native country in Central America and never attended school, meets for her English lessons with Lila twice a week. \u201cMy student really trusts Lila and enjoys the welcome my dog gives her at every lesson,\u201d said Ingrid.<\/p>\n

Using a Book<\/strong><\/p>\n

Lila, a mix of Catahoula, also known as a Louisiana leopard dog, Great Dane and Black Labrador, is a fine-looking, well-behaved dog who is proving that there is more to learning English than using a book.<\/p>\n
