Reading League's Reading Buddies

What do a dog, a girl, and a robot have in common? First and foremost, Dusty, Dott, and Alphabott are best friends. But they are also reading buddies! Dusty loves to talk, but learning to read is a new skill. With the help of Dott and Alphabott, he discovers that it can be so much fun! Along the way, the friends practice letters, sounds, and reading words, get letters from their globe-trotting friend Otto, practice social skills, and so much more. We hope you'll become a Reading Buddy!
