The TVI Take
PBS Kids series whose superhero conceit is vocabulary acquisition: each episode introduces 3-4 advanced words and uses them across the narrative with enough repetition for retention. The structural achievement is that the vocabulary is the plot, not the lesson tacked onto the plot, kids absorb words like "perplexed" and "impede" via genuine narrative motivation.
