Featured review
Amazing documentary showing the making of the beloved children's show "Reading Rainbow"!
Reading rainbow was a staple of my childhood along with Mr Rodger's. Lavar Burton instilled a passion about reading that I only ever got from my mama. That show connected kids with the greater world and showed us how to use our imagination when we read. This severely helped with reading comprehension as a child. It is a shame that our children now days do not have those same role models and mentors to explore with. I just watched the documentary "Butterfly in the sky" about the making of Reading Rainbow. I think I smiled thru the entire thing. If this show made an impact on you, I highly recommend you watch it.
