How Can I Participate?

Fathers who read or tell stories to their kids make a difference that no one else can. Taking the time to read to your kids shows how much you care. Kids whose fathers are caring and involved enjoy school, friends and outside activities more than other kids and they grow up to be confident and successful adults. Your kids are fun people! The more time you spend with them, the more fun you have. And you both end up with great memories that last a lifetime.
