My toddler was a Diego junkie, heaven help me. Luckily, we have no cable, so we could only watch on library DVDs or the few we bought ourselves. A friend turned us onto Word World, and my little one switched cold-turkey from a Diego-holic to Word World. We've bought several of them -- these are great to watch when you just need to make a phone call or whip together a recipe, and want to keep the baby busy.

I like the voices, I like the characters, the songs are *not* like Dora's "I'm the map, I'm the map, I'm the map, I'm the map, I'm the MAP!", the visuals are clever, and the stories are funny.

Anyway, I am really strict about TV time, and Word World makes the grade. Thanks, PBS -- this is a surprise hit.

My 8 month old daughter loves this show! She claps and dances to the music and is just fascinated with it. We are collecting all of the characters right now for her - she loves to pull them apart and then stick them back together. They are great learning tools ... we use them to point out letters, the sounds they make, the sounds they make when they come together and then the word itself! A great association tool. I hope to have many more DVDs to come!

These dvds from pbs are about helping beginning readers. my grandson is 3 but he is already beginning to read. The shows are charming and informative. As a preschool teacher with a master's degree I would definitely recomend them. Watching them over and over is much better than seeing them once on a cable channel. I bought every Dvd available for Levi. Tv is mind numbing for kids unless you carefully monitor the programing. My daughter uses Levi's tv time for carefully chosen videos omly.

Bought this for my two year old because she loves watching Word World. It gets a turn in our DVD player pretty often and we love how the letters morph into words. Pretty clever!

Word world is a great show for my toddler. I love how it teaches phonics so the kids start learning to sound out words, not memorize them.

Indeed, each Word World DVD is a hit (except Happy birthday Word Friends). My son watch it over and over and now he's 4 and a half and knows how to write at least 30 words with consonant-vowel-consonant and maybe 10 words made of 4 letters. That's a really good show for children learning English as a second language and native English speakers!

Word world offers a bright and colorful viewing experience for my toddler. She loves the characters (particlarly duck) and I love that she is starting to recognize the letters in their bodies.

Good learning tool for young children. Helps identify letters and how they go together to form words in an entertaining format.

I am a fan of this series of dvd's from public service television. My 2 year old really enjoys them and I think its great how they can keep her entertained but help with word cognition as well. It is a cute series. I hope they continue to make more. Highly recommended.

We have all the Word World DVDs and will buy more as they come out. We got hooked on the program on PBS and bought the DVDs so the kids (2 1/2 and 1 1/2 years old) could watch anytime. My kids love it. They dance to the music and they ask for the show by name. After repeated viewings, the show doesn't get annoying. The music is fun and the characters are cute.
