National Literacy Month

Celebrating Literacy Month on PBS !

SUPER WHY debuts on September 3: an animated preschool series from Out of the Blue Enterprises. This superhero show boosts literacy skills through interactive fairytale adventures. Whyatt Beanstalk, younger brother of Jack and his three friends transform into the "Super Readers" with special literacy-charged powers. The Super Readers jump into books to discover answers and find solutions to everyday preschooler questions and challenges.

WORD WORLD debuts September 3: words are truly the stars of the show. Created by Don Moody and presented by WTTW, each episode is a fun-filled narrative built around the WordFriends, who are characters first and words second. Word World is a colorful, vibrant, word-rich place where friends have fun and meet challenges in the same way: through WordPlay.

WORDGIRL debuts September 7: The new full-length series from Scholastic Media and Soup2Nuts 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.

Dot's Story Factory invites kids to submit their own stories for display online and on-air.
