As Scholastic's official Ambassador of Summer Reading, WordGirl is kicking off the Scholastic Summer Challenge to get students excited about books and reading every day all summer long!
WordGirl, produced by Scholastic Media and airing daily on PBS KIDS GO! is a crime-fighting superhero who uses her vocabulary strength in a never-ending battle for truth, justice and the use of the right word. WordGirl has adopted summer reading as her cause because reading more helps children learn new words and learning new words helps children become better readers!
