During the first two weeks, they were to read at least 15 minutes daily with their child. Then the last two weeks they were to increase the time to 30 minutes daily.
The 5 families that completed the program read a total of 2,852 minutes as a whole (47.6 hours). The family reading the most minutes had a total of 671 minutes (11.2 hours). After the program ended, each family completed an exit survey which showed that 90% of the families said that FRED improved the quality of the time they spent with their child and improved my relationship with my child. 100% of the families stated that this program improved their relationship with their child and increased my satisfaction level as a parent. One parent stated that “because of FRED my child took a break from electronics and help us set reading goals.” 100 % of the families said they would recommend this program to other parents.
