Reading Rainbow lives on

“Butterfly in the sky, I can go twice as high
Take a look, it's in a book - Reading Rainbow.”

These lyrics from the theme song of the long-running PBS program Reading Rainbow are bright reminders of the joy of reading to millions of us who have watched the program over the years. Each program, hosted by LeVar Burton, introduces children to a wonderful story in a book and then connects it to real-life experiences for children.

Teachers have used this program for years to help get their students excited about reading. To assist teachers, Reading Rainbow provides them with high-quality lesson plans and other instructional resources. Reading Rainbow can be found each weekday on Time Warner Cable channel 17 at 12:30pm.
