<\/a>I love how new episodes of WordGirl<\/a> are always being aired, especially now that it is in its third season. That means a half hour of peace for me and some vocab-learning fun for my daughter. My daughter loved the name of the soccer team in “Bend It Like Becky” and I had to explain the play on words to her. After “Questionable Behavior” she was sure to give me a full de-briefing of how Ms. Question got everyone to confess their secrets.<\/p>\n Be sure to watch PBS GO! for these two new episodes:<\/p>\n “BEND IT LIKE BECKY” \u201cQUESTIONABLE BEHAVIOR\u201d If you still want more WordGirl goodness, your child can participate in the WordGirl Definition Competition<\/a> on 4\/27. My daughter would have love to join in but it’s only for children in grades 1-3. Here’s a quick summary from Becky herself:<\/p>\n
