Every Electric Company episode builds its story around wordballs — words the team reads, decodes, and uses under pressure. Watch for the vocabulary the episode leans on and how the characters puzzle words out.
- Which words did the Electric Company have to read or decode to solve the problem?
- How did a character figure out a word they didn't know at first?
- Where could you use one of this episode's words this week?
