Storyline Online® Library | Most Recent Books PROPOSAL storyline online | overview Reading aloud is the bedrock of literacy development and is the single most important activity for reading success. Children listen on a higher language level than they can read, making it all the more important to be read aloud to, exposing them to vocabulary and language patterns that are not yet part of their everyday speech. • 1 in 4 children in the United States grow up without learning how to read (Write Express Corporation) • 33% of American fourth graders read below the “basic” level on the national reading test (NAEP Report Card) • 25 million children in the U.S. today cannot read proficiently (Reading is Fundamental) • Students who don’t read proficiently by 3rd grade are four times as likely to drop out of school (Annie E. Casey Foundation) The SAG-AFTRA Foundation understands the impact reading aloud has on children of all ages and has championed children’s literacy for over 25 years through its award-winning signature children’s literacy programs. Actors are born storytellers who have the ability to bring characters to life and captivate young minds. In response to the rapidly evolving digital landscape, the Foundation launched Storyline Online®, which offers a unique opportunity for celebrated actors to use their gift of storytelling to make a far-reaching impact on children’s literacy and their lives in the U.S. and around the globe. storylineonline.net Storyline online® Partnership | PAGE 1 sponsorship opportunities | Presenting Sponsor Premier Sponsor Supporting Sponsor Single-Book Sponsor Sponsorship Benefits $250,000 (12 mo.) $125,000 (6 mo.) $62,500 (3 mo.) $35,000 Logo on StorylineOnline.net 12 mo. 6 mo. 3 mo.

  • Reading Rainbow Book List
    COMPLETE READING LIST The PBS show Reading Rainbow was a favorite of my older children when they were small, and as I watched with them, it quickly became a favorite of mine too. Reading Rainbow introduced us to so many great children’s books that we otherwise would never have known about. It was not uncommon, on our weekly trips to the library, for me to seek out books that I had discovered on Reading Rainbow to read to them at home, and later, for them to read for themselves. Since Reading Rainbow went off the air in 2006, my younger children never had a chance to experience this great program. That is why I decided to compile this list. Every time we go to the library, or every time I am shopping for gifts, I will consult this list. I am sharing it with you so you can do the same if you’d like! To the right of every entry, there is a check box so you can keep track of the books you have read. Almost all of the books are still in print, and the few that are out of print are most likely available at your public library or your child’s school library. I could have put the books in alphabetical order by the author’s last name, or arranged them alphabetically by title, or I could have tried to group them by subject matter. In the end, however, I decided to list the books in the order they originally aired on Reading Rainbow.

  • Robert Guillaume's Stroke Was No Joke
    MAY/JUNE 2009 BY LINDA CHILDERS Robert Guillaume’s Stroke Was No Joke ~e veteran actor says that, despite exhibiting some common signs of stroke, it never occurred to him that he might be having one. Actor Robert Guillaume, 82, admits that after more than six decades in the limelight he's learned to enjoy semi-retirement. "I'm having a love affair with sitting down," Guillaume jokes as he relaxes in his Southern California home. Consider it a well-deserved break for one of Hollywood's busiest actors, a screen veteran whose career spans both theater and television. A veteran of stage musicals, Guillaume made his Broadway debut in 1961 and was nominated for a Tony award for his role in Guys and Dolls in 1976. Yet for many fans, Guillaume will forever be linked with his alter ego Benson DuBois, the witty, acid-tongued butler on the 1970's sitcom, Soap, and its subsequent spin-off, Benson, a role for which he won two Emmy awards: the first in 1979 for Best Supporting Actor in Soap and the second in 1985 as best actor in the Benson series. In 1998, Guillaume was cast as managing editor Isaac Jaffe in the television comedy Sports Night, a show that focused on the relationships and workplace drama of the staff of a television sports program. One of Sports Night's most memorable moments took place when the cameras weren't rolling: On his way into work at the Disney studios on January 14, 1999, Guillaume suffered a stroke. Surprised by Stroke "I had been diagnosed with high blood pressure for several years but hadn't been inclined to take it too seriously," Guillaume says.
