Between The Lions is a multimedia educational initiative created to help children ages three to seven acquire beginning reading skills and a love of reading. Built around a curriculum that incorporates the most recent evidence-based research in literacy instruction, each episode features an engaging variety of entertaining animation, puppetry, live action, music and graphic segments that supplement the stories and address the curriculum goals. Research conducted with children in Kansas (2000), New Mexico (2004-2005), and Mississippi (2001-2002, 2005-2006, 2007-2008) confirms that children can improve their reading skills by watching Between The Lions. This scientifically based reading research shows that viewing Between The Lions boosts children’s early reading skills in key areas, such as the concepts of print, letter knowledge, vocabulary, phonemic awareness and phonics.
