DVD Reviews of WordWorld: Welcome to WordWorld
DVD Review: Creative!!
Summary: 5 Stars
My two year old daughter adores Word World!! I was most impressed with this creative idea to introduce reading concepts to young children! H-A-T-s off to PBS Kids and Word World. As a parent I also appriciate that this series is not so much into marketing commericalizm to young children, unlike SO many other children's programs.DVD Review: Great DVDs!
Summary: 5 Stars
My 8 month old daughter loves this show! She claps and dances to the music and is just fascinated with it. We are collecting all of the characters right now for her - she loves to pull them apart and then stick them back together. They are great learning tools ... we use them to point out letters, the sounds they make, the sounds they make when they come together and then the word itself! A great association tool. DVD Review: low educational value
Summary: 2 Stars
This show is not suitable for a child who doesn't know yet how to blend the letters. Unless your child a proficient reader of three-four phonetically simple words this show wouldn't help them. I wish the show makers started with the simplest words. Instead of starting with words like "dog" and "pig" the words that are spelled in the show are more challangenging like "pie" and "cake".The choice of the words that are spelled in the show isn't that good. The animals in the show are made out of letters and it is a good idea, but the letters are rarely seen clearly and unless a fluent reader your child will miss most of the words. Childern need repetition to learn reading and the words that are spelled on this DVD are rarely repeated. I would say that entertaiment side of the show is aimed at a 2 to 3 years old child, but educationaly it's aimed at a 5 to 6 year child, so there is a disparity. To start reading without difficulties childern need to understand clearly that one letter might produce more then one sound and they need to remember all of the sounds that produced by each letter. This wasn't adressed by the show.
My daughter, who is 4 found this show boring despite loving other programms about letters. She also adores animals but wasn't interested in stories about animals on this DVD. In general this show might sparkle an interest in building words, which is good, but don't expect that it would teach your child to read. WordWorld: Welcome to WordWorld
DVD Review: A great learning program for preschoolers
Summary: 5 Stars
My twins will sit for hours watching this highly educational yet fun show. This concept really catches the attention of a preschool age child and holds it, which is very hard to do. The creators of Word World should be awarded for making such an excellent product. I would recommend this to anyone who has small children as it is fun to watch and very educational, and it will give you a very needed break as well:)DVD Review: My toddler loves it!
Summary: 5 Stars
I discovered Word World by accident on PBS and it was the first show my toddler actually laughed out loud at. She turned two last month and she loves Word World. She knows the letters and loves shouting them out whenever the characters "build a word" and now she recognizes many words from the show on sight. I just wish there were more episodes. We love watching Word World together.
Description of WordWorld: Welcome to WordWorld
In WordWorld, words come alive, words save the day, and words become a child's best friend. Welcome to 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 also 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:
Happy Birthday Dog! Dog's friends are planning a surprise birthday party for him, but they don't have a cake! With a little help from Pig, Frog gathers the letters C-A-K-E...but can he them to the party without ruining the surprise? Sh-Sh-Shark! When Duck befriends a Shark, he learns that the letters S and H make the "sh" sound, and everyone else discovers that you can't judge a shark by his sharp-toothed cover. The Mystery of the Disappearing Pie Pig's pie for Bear has gone missing! Have no fear Detective Sheep is ready to help her WordFriends follow the letter clues and solve the mystery of the disappearing pie! Snug as a Bug When Bug can't sleep because he needs to be snug, he and his favorite neighbor, Frog, have to figure out the end of the rhyme: "Snug as a bug in a..." Can YOU guess the end?
