WordGirl

Join NJN in kicking off the summer with WordGirl and her trusty sidekick Captain Huggy Face with a two-hour marathon at 4 pm Monday, May 26.

Join the everyday adventures of WordGirl as she fights crime vocabulary usage, all in a day’s work. Disguised as mild-mannered 5th grader, Becky Botsford, WordGirl arrived on planet Earth when she and her monkey sidekick, Captain Huggy Face, crashed their spaceship. In classic superhero form, WordGirl possesses superhero strength with the added benefit of a colossal vocabulary. WordGirl has a family and friends who have no idea of her secret identity.

Each episode introduces four new vocabulary words and will reinforce their meaning in a variety of contexts throughout the episode.

Only a superhero like WordGirl, endowed with power punches and dictionary strength, can put the word-wrenching scoundrels back in their place proving once again that crime doesn’t pay…but knowing the right word for the right moment is priceless.
