PBS KIDS' hit series Martha Speaks is back with brand-new pawsitively adorable fun beginning today, March 31, on PBS Kids (check local listings). The week kicks off with "T.D. Gives a Report." T.D. can't wait to share his idea for the report he will give in Mrs. Clusky's class, but when he finds out that the Pony Express wasn't a train for horses, he's crushed! Helen can't seem to spark his interest in any other topic. Will he be able to find anything he's passionate enough to research? Tune-in to get the full report!
You can also celebrate April Fools' Day with the new prank-filled "April Fools'" episode. Martha smells Deception when T.D., the King of Pranks, gets an invitation to receive an award from the Wagstaff City Genius Society. Tune-in to see if T.D. catches on before it's too late! "Kids will explore research concepts through T.D.'s avid passion for chewing gum, and maybe learn fun tips on duping friends with ploys, pranks, and ruses for April 1st, all while adding to their vocabularies through exciting plot twists and fun surprises," says senior executive producer Carol Greenwald. Keep the fun going everyday by visiting PBSKIDS.org/martha, where parents can find a variety of multimedia resources that build on the show's educational concepts, bolstering the oral vocabulary skills of 4- to 7-year-olds. Play games, including Skit's Tricks, and explore engaging, nonfiction interactive features like the T.D. Reports True Story.
