Between the Lines: Summer break is a reader’s delight (SCMP, by Percie Wong)
Research consistently shows that we improve in literacy by doing large amounts of interesting reading for pleasure. This is often not possible during the school year, because of the pressure of school-work and exams. Summer reading is the perfect time to catch up on this.

Between the lines: stories build bonds between father and child
My husband is great with children and has a good rapport with them. Nevertheless, hanging out with young ones isn’t his idea of a relaxing and fun time.

Between the Lines: the Confucian way
Happy birthday, Siddhartha Gautama. In Hong Kong, Buddha’s birthday has been a public holiday since the 1997 handover.

Between the Lines: explaining Easter’s message to children
To me, Easter is all about children’s games, arts and crafts. This year’s activities included making Easter bonnets, egg decorating, and countless egg hunts. My children, on the other hand, are fixated with the Crucifixion. They chat about Jesus dying on the cross, which leads them to sing in unison a song with an upbeat […]
