It was designed to encourage kids to read. Now after nearly 30 years, Reading Rainbow is going off the air.
I can still remember the theme song as a write this post. LeVar Burton, who is also known for his role on Star Trek, made reading cool. Every episode I looked forward to a new reading adventure.
While it's been years since I watched an episode, I can't imagine PBS without Reading Rainbow.
***singing: take a look, it's in a book, on reading rainbow....reading rainbow!***
And for you hip-hop heads....
So long Reading Rainbow....
