Our favorite puppet and her friends are back at camp and excited to share their new adventures! A brand-new season of “Blueberry’s Clubhouse” premieres this March and focuses on literacy instruction.
We can’t wait to welcome viewers back to a place many Arkansas children love. The new season at Camp Onomatopoeia builds on the warmth, creativity and educational purpose that makes “Blueberry’s Clubhouse” a family and educator favorite.
Designed for first graders, advanced kindergarteners and second graders who benefit from extra practice, “Blueberry’s Clubhouse” supports literacy instruction aligned with Arkansas standards and reflects evidence-based practices from the Science of Reading.
A Deep Commitment to Literacy
Arkansas TV’s work supporting the Science of Reading began in 2019, following the passage of Arkansas’s Right to Read Act. Through ArkansasIDEAS, in partnership with the Arkansas Department of Education, our education team developed more than 18 hours of original, online professional development with assessments designed to build statewide teacher awareness of evidence-based reading instruction.
This required training helps ensure all Arkansas educators – including those who do not directly teach literacy – understand how the Science of Reading works and how students learn to read. That foundational work continues to inform our approach to educational programming and laid the groundwork for literacy-focused content like “Blueberry’s Clubhouse.”
What to Expect This Season
The fifth season of “Blueberry’s Clubhouse” is composed of six 15-minute segments compiled into three 30-minute episodes. Across these episodes, Blueberry and her friends explore imagination, teamwork and independence while helping children build essential reading and spelling skills. Through a blend of puppetry, animation and live-action performance, young viewers are introduced to phonemic awareness, phonics, decoding and vocabulary in joyful, engaging, and developmentally appropriate ways.
This season introduces a fresh storyline and fun new characters. When two mischievous extraterrestrial brothers, Benji and Bart, crash their flying saucer at camp, Blueberry steps in to help. Guided by their onboard computer, RoboReader, she spends the summer learning to spell new words and repair the brothers’ ship.
A Sneak Peek
The pilot episode of Season 5 will air in March, giving families an early look at the new season. Additional episodes will launch this summer – perfect timing for children out of school and families looking for meaningful, educational programming at home.
Along the way, Blueberry’s imaginative adventures are sparked by discovering a mysterious cardboard box, helping Chef Shawn recover from a very bad hair day, and sharing a rainy-night board game in the clubhouse that teaches sportsmanship and cooperation. Each story reinforces literacy skills while modeling positive social behaviors and problem-solving.
