The Electric Company

The Electric Company

My character:

Francine Carruthers
(Ashley Morris) is a power-mad teenager who wants to be the president of The Electric Company. She has the basic letter-throwing skills that members of the Company also possess. Desperate for attention, she often posts vlogs (video blogs) praising her intelligence and superiority.

A little about the show:

In 2009, the power is surging back with the all-new The Electric Company, produced by Sesame Workshop. With a cool cast of characters, amazing literacy superpowers, side-splitting cartoons, and songs that you can’t help dancing along with, this reincarnation of a television classic is sure to make an impact on the newest generation. The Electric Company aims to entertain children between the ages of 6 and 9 while simultaneously teaching four crucial areas of literacy that are challenging for struggling readers:

  • Decoding: Children will increase their ability to manipulate sounds in spoken words and map those words to print.
  • Vocabulary: Children will expand the amount of words (vocabulary) that they use and understand.
  • Comprehension of Connected Text: Children will learn strategies that good readers use to understand connected text (phrases and sentences).
  • Motivation: Children will be motivated to read connected text and express themselves using text.
