Read the Rainbow

At the library, we believe that the power of reading can transform lives. Our Read the Rainbow collection is crafted to support at-home learning, whether you’re homeschooling or practicing literacy skills after school. This collection supports your child’s literacy development with a range of materials designed to make learning fun.

Read the Rainbow includes:

• picture books
• early readers
• chapter books
• non-fiction
• curated kits with books, games, and activity sheets to practice their reading skills

These books and kits are organized by reading level, from early sight words and phonics at the Red level to more complex sentences and vocabulary at the Green and Blue levels. 

We encourage families to "jump in and jump around!" Explore the different colours based on your child’s reading level. If a Read the Rainbow book or kit seems too easy or too challenging, try another. With over a dozen kits at each level and hundreds of individual titles available in our catalogue, there’s plenty to discover.

Read the Rainbow kits and books can be placed on hold through our catalogue or visit any of our locations to explore the collection.
