“Be their reading legend…”
Dads Read - Rationale
Research shows that:
• Reading together for just 10 minutes is an investment in a child’s future.
• Dads reading with children is critical to helping them become good readers.
• The first few years of a child’s life are absolutely critical in providing the foundations for their health and wellbeing as adults—it’s never too early to start reading with a child.

Reading with My Father
• Fantastic. My wife plays it to my daughter daily and I’m pleased she can hear my voice while I’m not there. A terrific way to keep that bond close and keep up the quality time for my daughter with her Daddy. Thank you so much. This really means a lot to us’.
• ‘My young fellow, seven years old, reads the book and listens to the CD every three or four days so he can listen to dad’
Reading with My Father
• ‘I thought it was fantastic that I could send two books I read out to my kids, but I could hardly believe my kids sent a book they read back to me.
• It was good for my kids to listen to my voice because I haven’t seen them for a couple of years. My kids said it was good to hear my voice and that I read a book for them’.
