The End of the Rainbow

To finish off Reading Rainbow week

here’s a link to the Reading Rainbow

book list:

(Reading Rainbow week 

at this blog that is-your celebrations

may vary).

I've mentioned Bringing the Rain

to Kapiti Plain, featured on both RR

and Between the Lions. Good 

illustrations, rhyming text, and logical

progression-all helpful for the young

reader with autism.

Reading Rainbow books are picture books,

usually most appropriate to early elementary

school children. But let your child’s needs 

and interests rather than 

age guide you.  At ten, my boy is

officially too old for picture books, but those

are the books he chooses. So I supplement

his choices with chapter books and let him

enjoy his picks too.

My friendly local librarian suggested the

Reading Rainbow book list. The Green

Hills library keeps a copy with the titles

they own highlighted.
