Reading Rainbow Re-Imagined For The iPad

Nearly a generation of children got turned on to reading by LeVar Burton during 155 episodes of the PBS television series Reading Rainbow. The creative minds behind that successful series, which ran from 1983 to 2006, are behind a new venture called RRKidz that plans to apply the concepts behind Reading Rainbow to iPad apps.

With the iPad, Burton and his team at RRKidz will be able to engage children in reading by not only having them watch video content, but also interact with that content.
