Critics Reviews

David Wiegand San Francisco Chronicle "Martha Speaks" is designed to enhance children's vocabulary with more complicated words than many shows aimed at the same age group. The words are defined, used in sentences and repeated, yet at no time does any of this feel like - ugh! - school. Feb 20, 2020 Full Review Emily Ashby Common Sense Media From an educational perspective, Martha Speaks does a good job of exposing kids to new vocabulary.
