Product Description

Welcome to WordWorld, where words are the stars of the show! 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 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:
Pig's Present: When Pig tries to peek at the gift his nephews are word building for his birthday, he receives an unexpected present: a lesson in patience.
The Race to Mystery Island: Pig and Frog take the competitive spirit a bit too far when they go all-out on a word building race to Mystery Island. But it's teamwork that eventually turns them into winners. The Rainbow Birthday Cake: While Duck makes Frog the biggest, most colorful birthday cake ever, he learns about recycling and the many words that start with the word "can." One Hat Fits All: On a windy day, the WordFriends discover that a word can have different meanings each time they build a magical H-A-T.

Review
In Word World, set in a lush landscape filled with funny barnyard animals, the messages are clearer: because each animal is graphically spelled out, kids can watch as the letters P-I-G form that porcine creature. Even the scenery gets in on the act- a barn, a tree, a splash in the lake. When animals take time to build a word (always a moment of great expectation and jubilation), you can actually witness the little wheels working in the viewers' heads. After just one viewing, a 4-year-old who's always struggled with her letters volunteered to spell a new word: B-O-X. Presents don't get any better than that. --Entertainment Weekly

Customer Reviews

word world got edge
This was a lot of fun with a little more competition and some harder words. We love it.

Great product...
If you or your friends have active children, they will love the way this series teaches. My friends children are mimicking and repeating the songs and dances and the letters perfectly and with understanding of the visual meanings, as well as some of the words. Very well produced product.

Excellent children video
My three-year-old absolutely loves these Word World videos and out of our entire collection, these are the movies he usually chooses to watch. They are very good at keeping him focused on what is being taught and he retains what he has seen. They are clean, educational, and fun.
