Reading Rainbow
Contest Winners 
15th Annual Reading Rainbow Contest
Thank you to all of the talented Kindergarten, 1st, 2nd and 3rd grade authors that participated in this year’s contest. We had over 650 entries! Your stories were wonderfully creative and beautifully illustrated. The judges were very impressed with all of the entries and we consider everyone “a winner” for taking the time to write and illustrate their very own masterpiece. Information for the 2010 contest will be on the HoustonPBS website January 2010. Remember to keep writing and illustrating!
