WordGirl (stylized as W✪RD GIRL) is an American children's Flash animated superhero television series produced by the Soup2Nuts animation unit of Scholastic Entertainment for PBS Kids.[1] The series began as a series of shorts entitled The Amazing Colossal Adventures of WordGirl that premiered on PBS Kids Go! on November 10, 2006, usually shown at the end of Maya & Miguel; the segment was then spun off into a new thirty-minute episodic series that premiered on September 3, 2007, on most PBS member stations. The series of shorts consisted of thirty episodes, with 130 episodes in the full half-hour series.
WordGirl creator Dorothea Gillim felt that most children's animation "underestimated [children's] sense of humor" and hoped to create a more intellectual show for young audiences.[2]
By June 2014, many PBS stations had stopped airing WordGirl, opting to air more popular series throughout the summer.[3][4] However, new episodes continued to air on select stations, with streaming options on the PBS Kids website and video app. The series ended[5] with the two-part episode "Rhyme and Reason", which was released on August 7, 2015.[6][7]
The show was created for children ages 4–9.[8] By 2022, the show had gained a cult following through social media.[2]
