Dad's listen up, here's a little info for you. Did you know that "fathers should make an extra effort to read to their children"?..."Because 88% of primary school teachers are women, young boys often associate reading with women and schoolwork. And just as unfortunately, too many fathers would rather be seen playing catch in the driveway with their sons than taking them to the library. It is not by chance that most of the students in U.S. remedial-reading classes are boys. A father's early involvement with books and reading can do much to elevate books to at least the same status as sports in a boy's estimation." (taken straight out of The Read-Aloud Handbook by Jim Trelease)
