"My 3 year old son and I absolutely love Word World. If you are unfamiliar with this series, its a PBS show geared at teaching phonetically, letters and simple reading and spelling. All of the animals and the objects in the world are actually made of the letters that spell the word. For example, the character dog, is made up of the letters D-O-G. A hat is actually H-A-T.



Each episode focuses on a different word or sound, while cleverly folded into an entertaining story. My son has already picked up a couple a letter sounds and the spelling of a couple of words including his favorite: C-A-K-E.



I purchased this Box Set because it came with 16 episodes, 8 for each disc and was a much better deal than some of the singular discs which only come with 4 episodes. The DVD menu has the option of playing all the episodes, selecting an episode or the special features, which will play just the "Build a Word" song from each episode. I would highly recommend this series to any parent(s) trying to encourage their child to take an interest in letters, words and early reading."

ALL children should watch Word World

"My daughter is absolutely obsessed with Word World. She will be 2 in a few days and has been a dedicated Word Friend for about 4 months now. I am not one for TV shows aimed at little ones, but sometimes you just need something to keep them occupied so you can make dinner! We stumbled across Word World one day on PBS and I thought is was adorable. I then found out from my girl friend (who is a Kindergarten teacher) that her son watched it everyday and was starting to learn reading concepts from it. So, despite not wanting a "TV Zombie" I started letting my little girl watch it. She has loved it from day one. She has learned that those squiggly shapes are called "letters" and when you put them together something happens... which is pretty good for an almost 2 year old! Again, I am not a huge children's television plan and am very picky about what my daughter watches. I am also a special education teacher, so my background makes me even pickier. Word World is one of the few shows I think is worth anything as it is educational, fun, and teaches nice life lessons. We got this DVD for my daughter's birthday and already know she will love it. I HIGHLY recommend Word World to anyone!!!!"

Great price for lots of shows!
