What are the differences between the following sentences?

1) He reads.

2) He does read.

Why in second example, "does" is placed before "read"? Is second example is right?

@Nousher Ahmed,
The second is affirmative.

"Does he read," is interrogative.

"He read does," is not grammatical.

He does read.

Grammatically, it's OK. Here's an idiomatic application:

'Joe's not a very good boyfriend. He never takes her anywhere.'
"Well, he does do the dishes."
