If ‘Reading Rainbow’ and LeVar Burton were a big part of your childhood, then you must know- it’s Kickstarting back up in a huge way! The Kickstarter reached its goal in a day and is continuing to build up, looking very likely to meet its 5 million dollar stretch goal to bring the show back on the web, in classrooms, and for free in under-served classrooms. Why did it come back in such a big way, and are children missing out on the benefits and joys of reading in ways older generations hadn’t? Are Reading Rainbow’s purposes different today than they used to be? Kim Horcher, Tim Frisch, and Xander Jeanneret (King of the Nerds season 2, TheStream.TV’s “Under the Table”) discuss!
See how well the Kickstarter page is doing: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/readingrainbow/bring-reading-rainbow-back-for-every-child-everywh
