KUSA - According to a recent poll, 55 percent of fathers currently read to their children once or twice per month; 39 percent never do.

The U.S. Department of Education reports that when fathers read to their kids, their children are more likely to do well in school overall.


There is a new program called FRED (Fathers Reading Every Day) that is encouraging the practice.


It lasts throughout the month of November. For more information, you can watch the video segment with this story or visit www.coloradodads.com.
