This show is amazing. It's like a direct upload to my kids' brains. I can't help but smile when I hear them singing along with the songs, sounding out words, and dancing around in the living room.

What Parents Need to Know
About WordWorld
Parents need to know that this delightful animated series introduces preschoolers to the shapes and sounds of letters and starts them on the path to literacy by showing how those letters combine to form words. Characters frequently spell words aloud as the letters appear on the screen, and as kids become more familiar with the alphabet, they'll be encouraged to do the same. Simple storylines and vibrant characters will excite youngsters' imaginations and entertain them as they learn.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about letters and their sounds and how they combine to make words. Parents can test their preschoolers' recognition of letters as you read books and draw, and they can encourage their kids' interest in words by reading to them, telling stories, and singing songs. Kids: What letters are in your name? Can you write them? What sound does each letter make? What other words can you spell?

It's Good
Although this show is educational, there is some iffy content(e.g sexual dancing, tomboy stuff), it is still ok for the smaller children

This is a fun show. My boys (ages 2 & 3) enjoy watching it and look forward to it coming on everyday.
