I will always be a fan of Reading Rainbow! I honestly think it made a big impact on me during my childhood to have a love for reading and an appreciation for the way books can transport you from your daily life to places that you’ve only dreamt of. I’m glad that it is still a part of the PBS line up and of all the “reading shows” out there for children, I appreciate it the most.
How do you guys feel about reading programming? My worry is that they teach with “look-see” more than phonics. That’s not always the case, but I still worry that mixing such shows with what your child is learning in school may be detrimental or at least slow their learning somewhat. What do you guys think? Have you ever seen “Between the Lions” or “Word Girl” before? What do you think of them? Helpful of hindering?
