what can I do to be able to have my corgis become "reading corgis" dog that kids read to.?

I have 4 very sweet corgi girls. Boudica(Booty), Meave, Rhiannon, and Branwyn. (My husband named them all after Celtic Queens)
I would love to use them as "Reading Corgis" I have seen something like this before . But,can't remember where or what kind of training I would need to do with them.
Rhiannon and Branwyn are only 4 months old and are too young yet. But Booty and Meave will sit very well and both love kids.
Does anyone have any ideas?

Therapy Dogs International has a reading dog program. I'd like to get Rosie in this. She loves kids and would sit there for hours if they'd pet her once in awhile. I'm a retired teacher and this makes lots of sense to me.
Karen,
I would love more info. In Iowa I have not found much.
I have worked with children inSpec. Ed and think this would work well.
thanks,
Deb
I am in Iowa also. Do you know Kathy Henderson? She teaches in Burlington I think. I learned about Therapy Dogs Intl when I took Rosie to obedience classes in Mason City.
Karen,
My mom is a retried teacher of the Burlington schools I will ask her about Ms Henderson. Thanks for the lead.
Now to find an obedience class around here. (you will now see me pulling out my hair)
I will also check out Tail Waggin Tutors through Therapy Dogs Intl.

Thanks for all you help. If I find out more I will let you know
I would love to do this with my corgi in MN...also work with troubled at risk teens.
I did find out there is a program with Therapy Dog International it is called Tail Waggin Tutors.
I also found out the we have 3 dogs in the schools around us in Burlington, Iowa.
I'm tring to find out more info.
The web site is : www.tdi-dog.org
try this to get some ideas.
I think we should start a Reading Corgi group.
