Hey All!
Did you grow up watchingReading Rainbowlike I did? I loved that show growing up and not because I loved singing the theme song! I can do anythinggggg..ways to grow…a reading rainbow…
Sorry I love singing that song! It brings back so many happy memories and I loved LeVar Burton! I’m super excited that they made an app for this amazing learning program! Reading Rainbow is now a reading adventure app designed for children ages 3 to 9, igniting imaginations through the love of reading, exploration and interactive play.
Like the show it’s hosted by LeVar Burton and the app offers a trusted library of books with recommendations customized to a child’s age, interests and reading habits. Children travel to themed islands to discover books, watch new Reading Rainbow videos, enjoy activities and earn rewards for reading. LeVar Burton and the Reading Rainbow app connect the stories children love to the world they live in.
The Reading Rainbow app is FREE for download HERE for the iPad. A subscription service is available, offering convenient, unlimited access to an extensive library of quality books, videos, activities and more at a price parents can appreciate.
This app has an amazing variety of both fiction and non fiction children’s books with amazing narration. It also has lots of the video clips and reminds me of watching the T.V. show. It’s an amazing app that will get kids reading and learning how much fun reading can be!
