Reading Rainbow

Recommended Ages

Best for preschool and early elementary learners (roughly pre-K through 3rd grade). 

Reading Rainbow is the classic children’s TV series where host LeVar Burton and guest readers share picture books, then connect each story to real‑world field segments. Episodes model the joy of getting lost in a book while also showing how stories link to science, history, and everyday life. Parents who grew up with the show often enjoy re‑watching with their kids, and the gentle pacing makes it perfect for quiet‑time viewing. While the original series is older, many episodes still hold up and can be paired with library visits or unit studies. Depending on platform, access ranges from free clips to modest subscription fees, and the nostalgia plus literacy boost make it a good value.

Some Reading Rainbow episodes and clips are available to stream for free via PBS educational platforms; families can also access seasons through the PBS KIDS Prime Video Channel (about $4.99 per month via Amazon) or purchase individual episodes starting around $1.99 each on Amazon Video.
