reading rainbow
Research has directed programming toward phonics and reading fundamentals as the front line of the literacy fight. Reading Rainbow occupied a more luxurious space — the show operated on the assumption that kids already had basic reading Reading Rainbow comes to the end of its 26-year run on Friday; it has won more than two-dozen Emmys, and is the third longest-running children's show in PBS history — outlasted only by Sesame Street and Mister Rogers. It looks like we've really reached the end of the rainbow After 26 years (the show stopped production in 2006, but they were still showing episodes) PBS' contract with Reading Rainbow expires on Friday and they aren't renewing it!
