Martha Speaks is a PBS Kids television program that aims to teach children new vocabulary words to develop their reading skills. The show follows Martha, an energetic dog who lives with 10-year old owner and best friend, Helen Lorraine in Wagstaff City. Martha discovers her ability to speak after Helen feeds her alphabet soup! This special talent is unique to Martha, as other dogs can only "woof" after eating the same soup, including Helen's other puppy, Skits. Martha can understand almost all animal languages, and she uses her linguistic abilities to help her friends and family solve problems and crack mysteries. She and her friends also go on many exciting adventures! Each 30-minute episode is divided into two shorter segments that feature up to 20 new vocabulary words. Martha encourages young viewers to learn and practice unfamiliar words in order to build a strong foundation for reading. Martha Speaks is based on a popular collection of children's books (by the same name) written in the early 1990s by Susan Meddough. The series premiered on September 1st, 2008 and is produced by WGBH Boston and Studio B Productions (Vancouver).MORE
