This innovative children's program revolves around characters who are made out of letters that spell their names ("Dog," "Sheep," "Duck," "Frog," etc.) In fact, everything in Word World is constructed from letters. My son now knows how to spell the words "house," "barn," "drum," and "horn," just to name a few. I was impressed with how quickly my son picked up on this concept and was reading the words on his own, before the characters told the viewers what the words were.
For some reason,... review »
This is one of the best ideas anyone had for a children's educational show. My son started watching this on PBS and has converted us all into frequent watchers. Not only do I find the stories cute, but they help children get excited about reading and spelling.
My son knew his letters and their sounds by 2, so it was easy for him to understand how to put the words together. The characters sound out the sounds and then "build" the word. There is some repetition in the building and it is sing-song so that it is stimulating for the children to watch.
The characters are all made up of the letters in...

Word World. Try saying that 5 times Fast. It's impossible, but in this show they do it while at the same time teaching children how to spell and say many everyday words. The creativity behind this show astounds me. In a world where everything is made of letters, Including the main charaters themselves, Anything can happen. My daughters favorite episode features Bear and Sheep who accidently breaks Cat box. Upon trying to puting back together (let's build a word) the "O" runs away. They chase it all through Word World, coming across various other charaters and getting into odd situations. Using...

When I first came upon the show Word World I was very impressed on how every character and object on this show were constructed by the actual letters that spell their name.For example the character frog has the letters FROG to make up his body parts, its brilliant in my opinion. This is a fun educational program with repetitive songs and rhymes that teach children how to spell and read. Before I knew it my then 2 year old was spelling words like drum, book, sheep, elephant and the list goes on. The reason I feel this is such a great productive show is my son was diagnosed with Autism...

I have a 17 month son. He is very active but also very clingy. I have a hard time getting to much around the house. I no longer have cable at my house (we move and can't afford it). But when I was living with my mom, Word World is one of the shows that I would sit down to watch with him. It kept his attention as well as helped him learn. It is geared for slightly older children than mine, but he loved Word World anyway. it helps the kids learn to spell and sound out words with lots of fun as well. Teh characters are fun. And each one's body is made from their word. For example,...

Word World is a great show to teach children that words are important to use. It also teaches them that spelling is important. The characters are great because they are made up of the letters in their names; for example Pig is made up of the letters P-I-G. Each thing in the show is made out of the letters in their word; for example Barn is made out of the letters B-A-R-N and roof is made out of the letters R-O-O-F. When the characters are trying to build something or make something or just need a new item, they teach the kids how to spell the word and the object appears before their eyes. The...

Word World~PBS
Absolutely love it! My 2 year old watches it, My 6 year old watches it. They both have learned so much from it. Not just about letters or words either. The other day my 6 year old told me "you should recycle the cans Mommy like they do on word world, it is best for our world too"
How can anyone not like a show that has good values, teaches letters, teaches words and how those letters and words sound.
I would suggest this show to anyone who has a child. Start early with this one. My 2 year old can spell and recongnize DOG, SHEEP, COW, FROG all because of this show.
Also a suggestion...

Word World is a fun, and educational show for the preschool set....
Word World is a place where words come alive, save the day, and become a child's best friend.
This show uses word building skills which reinforce the pre-reading concept that letters, through their sounds, make words.... while keeping the children entertained!!!
The colorful backgrounds and "word" animals are adorable and fun, with upbeat and happy music to really draw the children in.
Great show to watch along with your preschooler!!!
Word World is a creative show for children that teaches words through song and lessons. My soon-to0be 18 mo. daughter loves watching it and has already learned and identified animals.
My daughter loves watching these movies over and over...it helps with her spelling too
