Theme
The program's theme—superheroes—supports the program's motto:
Word Learning Strategies give students the power to unlock word meaning. The
theme is carried into the content of the stories and the look of the print and
online materials, serving as a motivator for students. Each Word Learning Strategy
is represented by a superhero.
Enfracta is the superhero for the Word Parts unit. She uses her power to break words apart.
This is Smidge,
one of Enfracta's assistants.
Luminator is the superhero for the Context unit. He sheds light on the context surrounding an unknown word.
Lexicon is the superhero for the Dictionary unit. Lexicon is very smart and has the answers for all questions about words.
