Watch WordGirl every Friday from 4-4:30 p.m. on KLRU.

The WordGirl series chronicles the adventures of Becky Botsford, a mild-mannered fifth grader who, at the call of duty, transforms into WordGirl – caped crusader and definition dynamo! When there is trouble in the big city, this super heroine-in-disguise uses vocabulary to defeat outlaws bent on “WORD” domination. With the help of her faithful monkey sidekick, Captain Huggy Face, WordGirl defeats a quirky cast of misfit bad guys and gals with her uncanny vocabulary skills and superhero strength.

In this program, WordGirl and Violet try to teach a spoiled brat to be generous and Granny May babysits WordGirl! The series goal is to expand kids’ vocabulary by exposing them to new words in a context they’ll find fun and inviting – a superhero comedy.
