This, this heroine, this new super hero.
You love her?
I love this story. She is on a mission.
She is, against malapropism and she is out to save syntax. Wordgirl is not only taking on bad guys, she is taking on bad grammar and her weapon of choice: a big vocabulary. Her creators say she is using her power for the good of all kids. Meddy Soul is here with more on the newest super hero on the block. Hey there, Meddy.
I know as grammarians you guys are gonna love this story. By day the cartoon character is an ordinary fifth grader, but when she dons her red cap, wordgirl is a heroine who has a real way with words and creaters are hoping her impressive vocabulary will rub off on her young viewers.
Word up!
She can lift buildings with the best of arm, but the newest super hero was armed with all kinds of powers you won't find in a comic book.
Understand? Comprehend! Correct!
Spelling! Synonyms! Antonyms!
The creation of the educational company Scholastic and PBS: Wordgirl fights crimes with what she calls her superior vocabulary.
Wouldn't it be cool if eloquence were a superpower, just like superspeed and superstrength.
Wordgirl and her crime fighting pal Captain Huggy Face take on villains such as the Evil Granny May, the Butcher, Two-Brains and Chuck, the Evil sandwich making guy. Show creator Dorothea Gillim, a former teacher in Bookworm, hopes the super heroine will inspire children to read and make learning fun.
My hope is the kids will find her sassy and cool and, you know, maybe somebody they want to be.
And she's even becoming an instant celebrity, sitting down with Alexis Simendinger.
Sorry.
So, wordgirl being a ten-year-old superhero?
Uh, ten and a half!
Educators say the larger a child's vocabulary, the greater their chance for academic success.
There's no reason why learning should be fun for kids. No reason why kids shouldn't come away from an experience of learning information and feel like they wanna learn more.
So, crime fighters, take heart. There's a new superhero in town and her name is Wordgirl.
Wordgirl.
Oh,that's great. Wordgirl.
If you had a grammatic alert in you story she's gonna call you.
Forget it. I am very worried.
I think you are OK.
Thanks.
I was listening pretty closely, but I'm no Wordgirl.
