Toon Zone Talkback - PR: "Martha Speaks" Shows Impressive Impact in Helping Children Learn New Vocabulary

This is the talkback thread for PR: "Martha Speaks" Shows Impressive Impact in Helping Children Learn New Vocabulary.

With those statistics, Martha Speaks should be the new "Sesame Street" and "Arthur".


I mean, I thought preschoolers rarely learn from TV these days.

I was educated by "Arthur", and I learned signs from certian "Sesame Street" segments from when I was younger, but the funding credits really blocked my learning when I was little.

I admit I am also pretty impressed by this news. This proves my point on Dora the Explorer: kids need to learn their first language (English) before focusing on another language. Martha Speaks followed that rule and look what has happened.
