Reading Rainbow was an American children's television series aired by PBS from June 6, 1983 until November 10, 2006, that encouraged reading among children.
Each episode centered on a theme from a book or other children's literature which is explored through a number of segments or stories. The show also provided book recommendations for kids to look for when they go to the library.
Reading Rainbow was hosted by actor and executive producer LeVar Burton, who is also known for his roles in Roots and Star Trek: The Next Generation. It was produced by On-Screen Entertainment for executive producers WNED and Great Plains National.
A regular feature was a children's book narrated by a noted celebrity. Some of the celebrities who have read on the show include Harold Littlebird (born in 1951) of New Mexico (The Legend of the Indian Paintbrush) and Michael Ansara (The Gift of the Sacred Dog, And Still the Turtle Watched).
Another segment of the show featured Burton in different places talking to different people about their work and other contributions, focusing on the theme of each episode.
The final segment of each show, called Book Reviews, began with Burton's introductory phrase, "But you don't have to take my word for it," and features children giving capsule reviews of books they recommend. Burton ended every show with, "I'll see you next time."
The show's theme song was written by Steve Horelick, Dennis Neil Kleinman, and Janet Weir; Horelick also served as the series' music director and composer. The theme was sung by Tina Fabrik. The original opening, which depicted a cartoon butterfly transforming the surroundings of young children reading books into cartoon fantasylands, was used until 1999. Later episodes used a new opening with the same theme song performed by R&B legend Chaka Khan.
The daughter of producer Larry Lancit, Shaune Lancit, was often featured in the series, most notably as the child thanking the sponsors at the end of the show.
In recent years it had tackled issues that other children's programs have historically avoided, such as poverty in U.S. inner cities, the September 11 attacks, childbirth and its impact on the family, and prison, all from a child's point of view.

A city that was once beautiful and prosperous. Now it's a corrupt, dirty, and ghetto shithole infested by racial card-playing gangstas from New Jersey and the Bronx. Anyone sensible enough to realize how terrible it is has fled to the much safer suburbs.
The Mafia actually ran Reading much better than officials do, and now the city is on the verge of bankruptcy due to irresponsible budgeting.
Random facts about Reading:
The unemployment rate is 14.7% (as of July 2010).
Approximately 35% of the population lives below the poverty line.
The city is famous for it's rail transport. You'll even find that the Reading Railroad is a property in Monopoly. Sadly, it went bankrupt in the 1970s. Nowadays, the stations are empty and abandoned and many tracks go unused.
The city is infamous for corruption. The latest scandal involves Mayor McMahan illegally borrowing $11.5 million from the city sewer fund.
It's generally said that almost everyone who has to deal with the city hates it.
Welcome to Reading, PA: the Little Bronx! Just a heads up, though, there's no Little Manhattan next to it...

Reading Allergy is a common phenomenon. This is not associated with Dyslexia.
Someone has Reading Allergy when they refuse to read, lacks the energy to, pulls fast conclusions, reads little & bases their opinion on lack of research, or refuses to read a post that says ''please read the entirely before commenting.'' Sometimes they even make things up that completely deviate from the writing, and ignore the OP's specifications.
Examples;
1.
''Wasn't this person involved in some kind of controversy?''
Comment thread; ''Oh no! That was resolved. provides info''
Reading Allergic: ''Oh my god. They are such a curse word person! I didn't know.''
''Did you read the discussion just now?''
2.
''Hi! I'm looking for commissions in this kind of specific art style, my maximum budget is low budget. Please do not send me direct messages! I'll block you if you don't read my post.''
The Reading Allergic person; ''Hi this is my art example, very different art style than requested prices start from above OP's budget I send you a direct message.''
3.
''My sister's kids are great, I don't mind spending time with them.''
Single parent: Hey, would you mind picking up my kids at 10pm?
''What for?''
Single parent: What? To babysit them of course.
''My mom has reading allergy, he somehow thinks that all things I write are about him.''
''Do all these people commenting on my posts have reading allergy? Why else would they pull such diverted conclusions?''
''So I was looking for commissions, and once again about ten people with reading allergy commented, completely ignoring my specific questions.''
''I'm starting to think some people naturally can't read or take stuff in proper context, it's like they have a reading allergy for common sense.''
''My teacher seems to forget certain notes I made about my problem. Do you think she's allergic to reading?''
