OMG! This show is great for pre-school and lower elementary kids. Great show, which is funny and educational! My 6 year old sister LOVES this show, she looks forward to the 4:30 showing of it.

I watch this show with my little brother a lot, and I think it's good! Violence? There's almost no violence at all! The only time Wordgirl does more than tie the person up and send him to jail is when she's fighting Tobey's robots. She'll completely destroy them, and Tobey's mom will pull him away by the ear. It's funny! This show doesn't have annoying songs on it, or talk to YOU! It has enough little kid humor and big kid humor, so it attracts the whole family. They never say bad words or show blood or gross stuff, and they always make words a priority. To "Love2" who wrote the short review saying "the show is to vilont for a learning show. and having crushes????????? not apropreat!" you spelled both "violent" and appropriate" wrong. Sorry to be a grammar cop but if you're going to take the time to put up a review about a show called WORDGIRL, you should've atleast not spelled such simple words wrong. Wordgirl would be ashamed. The crushes, by the way, are the one Wordgirl has on Scoops and the one Tobey has on Wordgirl. They don't go any further than crushes and little kids aren't going to understand them, so why make a big deal? Older kids enjoy watching a show with some "romance" (or as close as ten year olds trying to get their crushes' attention is to romance), and it's still appropriate! No dating whatsoever. Hope this review was helpful.

Perfect for anyone looking for good animation, humor, and word lessons
I'm thirteen years old. I'm at the age to be watching TeenNick and all its sitcoms - iCarly, Degrassi, Big Time Rush, and What I like about you. And yet, I choose to watch a cartoon aimed for children 6-8. Why? For one thing, WordGirl is much, much more engrossing than other children's cartoons. It doesn't "talk down" to kids, the information learned is actually something they'll use, the animation is adorable, and plus, it has HUMOR. Actual HUMOR. I find myself laughing at most of the jokes on the show. And there are some jokes that only "the older crowd" would get. Also, you know a children's show is good when even L can learn something from it. I learned the words "lackadaisical", "dote", and "curmudgeon", just to name a few. My siblings and I all look forward to 4:30 every weekday when WordGirl comes on around here. Every one of us enjoy WordGirl. Also, for a person with my personality, this cartoon is a haven simply because it has so much room for backstories! I'm the type of person who writes fanfiction and is always over-analyzing. I love WordGirl because I can find lots of backstory room, e.g. how WordGirl came to earth, the history of Lexicon, etcetera etcetera. Oh yes, and I love the shipping possibilities. The silly, grade school crushes are one of the highlights of the show. I adore pairing wordGirl with my favorite character, the evil boy genius, Tobey B-)

Helps with vocabulary
This show is O.K. but it has a lot of violence and scary things, like fighting. But it helps with vocabulary.

Believe it or Not
Believe it or not, this show is hillarious and funny. It's great to watch just for fun, even if you're not 5 years old. I'm 15. XD

Favorite show, Builds great learning skills
Excellent show. Although my parents are a little iffy about it, (They don't like the fact that WordGirl lies all the time to protect her secret identity) I think its awesome. So fun and I find myself repeating the vocabulary maybe a little too much, enough to annoy my parents.

My friend here the kirbster thinks its very goooooooooood and me too.
This is a pretty good show but the thing I dont like about it is that they only show it on fridays. Thats the only thing I hate about it. THEre is plenty of action in this and yet it is kind of well lets just say its kind of stupid sometimes like the butcher. Hes a bad guy he uses meat for attacks. Then huggy eats all the meat. MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM. MEat

cool show!
I like this show very much. Even though this show is suppose to be for kids, there is alot of punching, kicking, tackling for example worgirl pucnhes and topples robots! or when wordgirl kicks a big metal box and it crashes into mr. big (a evil bank guy)or when huggy face tackles doctor two brains (a evil scientist with two brain! you can see some of his brain coming out... There is also alot of name calling and put-down words like pathetic, idiotic, loser,dumb stupid, lame, very sore loser, sucker, fatty, pest, and jerk. Even though I recommend you to wacth this show! (also very edducational!)

very educational, but the theme is pretty dark. In one episode this boy keeps whining... like "It's so LAME, like meat butcher's meat." I'd say, the only thing that is concerned is some mild fantasy violence and dark theme.

Very educational, action against the bad guys while keeping the fights clean and non-violent
Very educational and rather exciting for kids; My 4 year old son loves the Word Girl. There are some battles against the robots, the evil sandwich guy and the bad butcher, but there is no hitting or physical violence against them. For example, they throw tofu at the bad butcher that loses his magical power with tofu, or they trick the bad guy and disable evil machines that lead to the arrest of the bad guy. The little action keeps the five year old still interested.

better than some of the shows going on right now on pbs kids and pbs kids go
allright i guess but for me if you want to watch something involving a superhero not based on a comicbook and with action watch the incredibles instead.and if you want to watch something with a strong female role watch monsters vs aliens instead

I actually like it
This is a very good show. Nothing bad in it. Teaches kids certain words like "cumbersome" and "flabbergasted". There really isn't "violence" at all. I mean, she does hit people sometimes but not usually (and it's usually robots.) Usually all she does is dodge things, throw bad guys in jail, and tie people up. It's pretty entertaining :) and this is coming from a 14-year-old

Cuteness
I like how a villian is smitten by Wordgirl. He does it for her attention. This show is a funny and cute show for babies:D

Disturbing And Annoying Show
It is a pretty good show, but I feel that the vocabulary Word Girl uses is slightly annoying: she will sometimes use words everybody knows, and sometimes she will use words even I don't know as a 10 year old. It is also very disturbing to me that the parents act so dumb, showing little kids that your parents should be like that. This is why if you do watch this show, you should be at least 7 or older, and one more thing. Becky (Word Girl) has a crush on a school boy named Scoops Ming, which I also think little kids should be watching.
