Between the Lions is a PBS Kids' puppet show designed to promote reading. The show has won seven Daytime Emmy awards between 2001 and 2007. The target audience is children 4 to 7 years old.Between the Lions focuses on teaching reading and a love of books to young children in a fun, informative way.
In addition to teaching basic reading, pronunciation, and grammar skills, Between the Lions also strives to promote a general love of reading in its viewers.Some Between the Lions episodes also deal with larger episodes related to literary matters: How to handle the scary parts of a story, for example, or the fact that it's okay to be a little sad if something bad happens to a character that you like in a book. It also shows how children can use books as jumping points for their own imagination. Above all, every character on the show expresses a contagious enthusiasm for reading, with the underlying message being "Reading is cool".

- There are a lot of names that can lead to confusion, misunderstanding or even chaos when coded into another language. My name is definitely one of them. Many people guess I am a boy from my last name "He", which actually means "why, how, what..." in Chinese and reads like "Huh" instead of "Heeeee". Years of questioning and misunderstanding fosters in myself a habit of explaining the unclear and a desire to reveal the unknown. As a master student in Harvard Ed school, I am interested in exploring all kinds of approaches teachers and parents can adopt to meet different needs of students without sacrificing the entertaining features or lowering the standard. My objective of opening this blog is to provide academic findings, teaching materials and other relevant resources for those who want to try another way to teach or learn.
