My son is 3 and half and he's been watching Word World since he was 2. He loves it!! makes him laugh especially the duck. It helped him a lot in building words, we go around the house sometimes and do the same. Also I use the PBS online games, it is just wonderful tool to teach kids words. the colors, the ideas everything is simple and child appropriate. We don't have cable, and we don't watch a lot of TV, but my child and me don't miss this program.

Best show for preschoolers, period.
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.

my 2.5 yr old loves it
My son absolutely loves this show. Not only does he find it funny (I mean, laughing out loud funny) but I think it is also helping him start to put together the idea that letters make sounds (he is only 2.5 yrs old) and words. I like that the characters make mistakes and learn from them and that the whole energy around spelling and words is positive and fun. I personally get a chuckle from it whenever Duck is on, b/c I swear he sounds like a bad impersonation of Pres. Bill Clinton.

great for kids as young as 2
We don't let our children watch much tv but we find that this show is worth the time. My son is 2.5 years old and is already reading. He knew his letters and basic sounds of each letter before we saw this program, but he never was able to make the jump to sounding words out until he saw Word World. Now he reads 3 and 4 letter words really well and is moving on to harder words. The songs aren't super creative but they're simple and not horrid. I think the characters are cute--the duck makes me laugh. It's definitely best when the parent can watch with the child and explain things and pause and practice when the child's interest is sparked. But even if the parent doesn't watch along side the child, it still has some benefit.

Good for the little guys, mostly.
Good show, have it on DVD, but am a little disappointed that 2 out of the 4 episodes on the DVD are about junk food. Pie and Cake. There are thousands of other food words and topics than pushing the junk food. Apple, Pear, Plum, Peas

love it!
love it ! Watching this together helps me point out and work on skills my son needs. Blends, plural forms and root words are discussed in a fun animated form. I am a preschool teacher. this shoe helps parent build on what thier kids are learning in class.

Welcome to the place, where words come alive!
We love Word World!
They "build" words all throughout the show. There is always some message, be it "help others," "compromise," "work together," "share the pie, don't eat the pie!"
It is entertaining for even my husband and I.
The songs are catchy.
We love that every character/item is spelled. For instance: Frog's shape is the letters f-r-o-g. Associating the animal/thing with the letters to spell it.

"It's time to build a word!"
This is a fun show. My boys (ages 2 & 3) enjoy watching it and look forward to it coming on everyday.

A great choice
Great for toddlers. Full of imaginative and educative elements. Clean, intelligent fun. Smart, does not cater to parents like so many other shows.

Awesome show for learning letters!
My 3 yr. old daughter has learned so much form Word World. She can recognize most of her letters and can tell you what sound they make. She is actually trying to sound out words once in a while too. I am very impressed with Word world! Keep up the good work!

My daughter started watching this show around 2.5 after a friend recommended it. I think it is a wonderfully educational show for preschoolers. As an adult the catchy songs start to drive you nutz, especially when it is one of the only shows your child will watch.

Great show!
My 3 year old and 5 year old LOVE this show. They think the animals are great. Since it started last week, my 3 year old son has been walking around spelling words and it is enforcing what my daughter is learning in Kindergarten. This show and World Word are two shows I actually like my kids to watch! Thanks PBSkids!
