This DVD is wonderful! We now own the first three, and my kids LOVE them.
I highly recommend Lucky Duck!
The DVD includes these episodes:
*Radio Read-a-Thon
*Duck's First Sleepover Party
*Pig's Big Moonlight Feast
*V is for Vacation

My son loves letters and the alphabet. Well, he used to when he was two. Now he loves Care Bears. But back when he loved letters, we found this DVD series. We don't watch much tv or movies at home. But I was pregnant and feeling pretty agreeable to do anything that involved anyone else entertaining him that wasn't me. We found Word World and I have to admit not only did he learn how to spell some words and songs, but I was entertained too. I was especially pleased by how positive the series is. Highly recommend. Dog is our favorite character.

My kids got into WordWorld from watching it on PBS. It's clever, nice, and well written. But not annoying like many of the kids shows on television today. I enjoy watching it! My kids prefer WordWorld over other shows. It has 4 episodes on the disk that are about 10 to 15 minutes long. Perfect for kids attention span or if you want to use one episode as a reward.

I am a first grade teacher and I find that the WordWorld videos are excellent for activation and for remediation of basic phonics skills particularly for students learning english because it also is teaching vocabulary in a very fun and accessible way. I would recommend this for pre-school and kindergarten children who are starting to read as well.

This has been a great cartoon series for my 3 & 5 year olds to work on building words with the letters they already know. The characters are fun and I love the concept of using the words as the physical make-up of the body of whatever they're spelling. Great visual for kids.

Highly educational and even my 2 year old begs for Word World!

First, the bad: The length of each episode is short. I feel they should have put more episodes on each dvd. When compared to other preschool videos, this is short. Curious George is a much better deal! Also, they sneak advertisements in unexpected places. I usually make sure to skip the promotional material for my daughter, but these guys are sneaky about where they put it, and that's not playing fair.

That said, I love WordWorld! The stories really help my preschooler with putting words together and how different letters function together. Some subjects are treated too lightly (e.g., treating fall migration as a vacation), but I suppose you can't accomplish all learning goals with one product (unless you're Sesame Street!). Overall, watching WordWorld has nicely complemented the preschool learning that my pre-kindergartner is getting at her Montessori school.

We don't watch much TV at our house, but this program may trump my old favorite "Sesame Street". My daughter has learned so much from this show from letter identification to problem-solving. The episodes are short too- only about 15 minutes. It's definitely worthwhile to purchase!

I received this product very quickly, and in perfect condition. It works great and I have not had any problems with it.

Very Educational, My 2 year old owns 16 Word World DVD's plus the demo! Uses colorful characters, helps children solve problems and spell words! Everything in the show is spelled out...(ex. the body of DOG spells "D-O-G")!

Also, the Word World Mega Block sets (Barn & House) are awesome!!!! Great learning toys!

and the Mega Block set of DUCK, BIRD, & OWL are an awesome addition to the Mega Block BARN & HOUSE!

My son also has every WORD WORLD book, they ALL are a must get item!

I bought this for my daughter along with the Welcome to WordWorld dvd. My daughter loves it a lot and I love the fact that she can be entertained and educated at the same time. Though it's usually shown on PBS kids, I chose to buy it anyways. We don't have a dvr so this does just fine.
