From 1983 to 2006, Reading Rainbow <\/em>won 26 Emmys. In 2012, Burton brought the show back as an app for tablets, but what he really wants to do is bring reading to every child everywhere.\u00a0 Not every child has a tablet,\u00a0 so he turned to the Internet community through kickstarter to raise $1 million dollars to produce classroom content and give it away free!\u00a0 And not only will he raise the $1M, its looks like it will be $4 or $5M\u00a0 by the time the 33 days are done.\u00a0 Check out their reaction when they crossed the mark.<\/p>\n
