 between the lions
BETWEEN THE LIONS is named for a family of lions - Theo, Cleo, Lionel and Leona - that runs a library like no other on earth. The series combines puppetry, animation, live action and music to achieve its educational mission of helping young children learn to read. The backbone of the series is a literacy curriculum geared to beginning readers aged four to seven. Every episode addresses the five key areas of reading instruction: phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary and text comprehension.
