Bolster Children's Oral Vocabulary "Martha Speaks," the new animated series from the WGBH creators of "Curious George" and "Arthur," and Vancouver's Studio B Productions, premieres on September 1, 2008 on PBS KIDS (check your local listings). The series stars Martha, a beloved family dog, who accidentally is fed alphabet soup that gives her the power of human speech and the chance to speak her mind to anyone who will listen. Based on Susan Meddaugh's book series about Martha the talking dog, "Martha Speaks" is built on a curriculum designed to bolster the oral vocabulary of four- to seven-year-olds. Each episode features two 11-minute stories (including six adapted from the classic books) that showcase Martha's linguistic abilities and the hilarious consequences they provoke-all with a goal of engaging children and expanding their vocabulary.
