My 5-year-old son is a 3-D learner (dyslexic) and I was having trouble getting him interested in reading or writing. Since he's started watching Wordworld he and his 3-year-old sister run around the house shouting and dancing "It's time to build a word". Next we run and get our letters and build words. Now words and letters are fun and exciting to him. The most valuable aspect to this show for my son is that it gives him a 3-D view of letters and words and at the same time gives him the picture to go with it.(most Dyslexics think in pictures only - if there's no picture for it they're stumped) Aside from that the characters and stories are very entertaining. I find myself clearing my schedule to watch Wordworld. It is also good for me to watch it with them because then later we go over the concepts taught and re-build the words. They don't even know they're "learning"

This is, in my opinion, the BEST kids' show to come around in a very, very long time. It helps kids recognize their letters, sound out words, and spell, which I appreciate. However, learning aside- this show is fantastic. It is HILARIOUS, the characters are well-developed and lovable, and the quality is fantastic.
I know this show is meant for preschoolers, but my 7 year old loves it too. She is a beginning reader, and she feels very cool being able to recognize all the words in WordWorld. I am preordering both DVDs, and in the meantime we'll continue to catch it on PBS.

This is a wonderful kids show! My 3 1/2 year old son adores it - he sings along and pretends to build words just like the characters. It is visually appealing with lovable, non-annoying characters. My son loves the stories and being able to pick out many of the letter. Great, educational, program!!

My 23-month-old daughter stunned me one day by correctly identifying every single letter on the jacket of my book. I asked her father if he ahd been teaching her the alphabet - his reply was something along the lines of "she can't even speak properly yet - how can she learn the alphabet?!" I took out a set of alphabet blocks and she casually recited every letter from A-Z. She doesn't have any siblings, and back then she didn't even have any friends. A few weeks earlier, I had added a few episodes of WordWorld to her DVD archive (along with Maisy Mouse and a couple of sing-a-long DVDs). Apparently this was all it took for her to "absorb" the entire alphabet!

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.

This for me, is the best kids show out there. We've loved Dora, Bob, Elmo and the baby Einstein shows...but nothing is as good as Word World. My sons get to choose one show they want to watch every day, for the last four days in a row they have chosen Word World (since we bought it!). They are almost 2 and almost 4. My 4 yr. old now knows the letters that they practice on Word World. Today he was spelling "P-I-E, pie!" and "t-r-e-e, tree!".

I highly recommend Word World, as it is interesting enough that they love it(even at age 2!), and as far as TV goes...it actually teaches them something! I'd say go for it!!This is the best show yet!

My daughter in law told me about word world and I went into the pbs site to check it out. What a novel and great way for the children to learn and so much fun doing it. I bought my grandson 3 different dvd's from amazon, they had a large selection. He is learning to spell using this series. He has the bear, now he has the duck, dog and pig. I enjoy these too. Whoever said learning can't be fun. Also the shipping was so fast. Today friday was his birthday and he received 2 yesterday and one today just in time. Amazon was great with the shipping. Love to buy from here.

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.

I have a 2 year old who is starting to talk up a storm and he absolutely LOVES Word World. He loves all the animals and he says the words that they build in the episodes. He also says the phrases they use a lot - like "share the cake, don't eat the cake", which helps him learn good things. I even like watching it. It's fun, silly, engaging and educational - It doesn't get much better!

I have a 7 year old and 4 year old. The 7 year old has only watched it twice but the 4 year old seems to like it pretty well. Glad I bought it, but not sure I will buy any more from WordWorld will probably try something different. All in all I think it is pretty good for preschoolers.
