Product Description
In WordWorld words come alive words save the day and words become a child's best friend.Welcome to WordWorld the first preschool series where words are truly the stars of the show! Come along for an adventurous romp into a colorful vibrant world of words with the lovable legible WordFriends animals whose bodies are made up of the letters that spell the word they are.The WordFriends go on comic adventures and face challenges that can only be resolved with the right word. That word is built letter by letter sound by sound during the funky Build a Word song at the end of every episode. Once the word is built it morphs or comes alive into the thing it is! Word building reinforces the pre-reading concept that letters (and their sounds) make words and that words have real meaning...and power. The series also introduces literacy concepts that preschoolers will encounter as they become readers such as sounding out letters and rhyming. But most of all WordWorld helps children get excited about reading and see words as their friends.Includes these episodes:Happy Birthday Dog!Sh-Sh-Shark!The Mystery of the Disappearing PieSnug as a BugSystem Requirements:Run Time: 60 minutes Genre: CHILDREN/FAMILY UPC: 843501007006

5 out of 5 stars Wonderful!!!   September 22, 2008
I'm a kindergarten teacher and I love this show. My class and I watch WordWorld on PBS everyday after lunch while they take turns going to the restroom. They hate it when we have to turn it off and move on because they see the things they learn in the morning in a cool and fun cartoon. This show is very good about reinforcing topics that we are covering in class, not only has it covered letters and sounds, but it has worked on our rhyming skills and using pictures to help figure out what the words really are. Even my students who have had a difficult time with reading love to "build a word." I would highly recommend these movies to anyone, parents and teachers alike.


5 out of 5 stars Cute and Educational   August 22, 2008
This series drove me up the wall...why? Because my 3 year old could not get enough it! Which isn't always a bad thing. He was so engaged with the characters and spelled right along with them.

Definitely worth a try for your preschooler!



5 out of 5 stars Best show going...   August 18, 2008
We love WordWorld! This program is wonderful! We watch it everymorning on television and then my daugther will watch it on the weekends on dvd! She is starting Kindergarten and she knows all her letters and sounds and can already write in sentences. I will recommend this DVD collection to anyone who asks.


5 out of 5 stars Great show for early reading skills   July 17, 2008
My three-year-old adores this show. After he saw it once, he wanted to watch it every morning, but he usually wakes up after the broadcast. So I purchased this one, and it's great. He's really learning from it -- not just literacy skills, but social skills as well. He often talks about the characters and storylines ("Sh-sh-shark!") and applies the same patterns in his everyday speech, such as isolating the initial sound of a word ("D-D-Daddy? Do you want to p-p-play?"). (No, he doesn't stutter!)

We highly recommend it!

I have a 23-month old and she loves this cartoon. When it came in the mail, which it came extremely fast, she just sat on the couch and looked at the cover forever stating "ruff ruff", so I put it in and she was running around the house clapping. So I just want to thank you for your fast service and making my daughter smile :-)
