The popular children's show host is aiming to raise $1 million to bring his beloved children's show to the web
LeVar Burton wants to bring back “Reading Rainbow” for a whole new generation of children.
The man who asked us to “take a look, it's in a book” is launching a Kickstarter campaign to fundraise $1 million dollars to bring his show back to the web.
The popular children's show ran from 1983 to 2006 and continued in reruns until 2009.
Burton's “Reading Rainbow” campaign will create a new version of the show available to any child with access to the internet.
He also plans on offering a “classroom version” of the program for teachers and is spearheading a not-for-profit that will give copies of “Reading Rainbow” away to low-income schools for free. The campaign offers various rewards for donating, including potentially getting to wear his famous “Star Trek” visor.
“So lets do it this, y'all,” Burton said. “Together we can create and deliver a proven tool for encouraging the love of reading to millions of children. We can genuinely change the world, one children's book at a time.”
“Reading Rainbow is back, for every child, everywhere, but you don't have to take my word for it,” he said.

When I saw the television in the classroom, I would get excited. What are we going to watch today instead of doing work?
When Reading Rainbow came on.... I would have rather done work.

There is a great Reading Rainbow app that I purchased for my son. He loves to read and it has a huge library. It also has educational videos.

It was one of my favorite shows. Might be part of the reason I pull in damn near 6 figures at 32.

Looks like they might hit their goal already. Almost to the $500,000 mark.

The Kickstarter campaign is going well. You can see the donations increase in realtime. $1000 in the last minute.

I just played the theme song, my son came in and said "you're watching reading rainbow? We watch that at school"
I'm glad they still play these educational shows for them.
