Read to Me, Daddy: My First Football Book is a tool schools
and families can use to help address the gender
achievement gap. By third grade, we see a steady slide of
boys' interest and achievement in Reading, and by the end
of high school, girls have an average 28 point advantage in
the verbal section of the SAT. What's creating this gender
achievement gap? The problem is multi-faceted, but a sure
way to address this problem is to provide adult male role
models that value reading.
Read to Me, Daddy is a book
that dads will want to read to their sons.

non-violent problem solving
lay at the heart of the book's
message.
