WordWorld: Rocket to the Moon

We love the Word World series. We don't have cable tv so it is nice to have an option to buy episodes and play them again and again. They have helped my kindergartener to read and spell while still in preschool. Both our boys have autism and being very literal, my older son took magnetic letters on a cookie sheet, spelled a word, pushed them together and expected them to turn into the object like in the movie. Cute. We had to explain the difference between fantasy in movies and stories and real life which provided another great teaching moment. The Word World series has also provided great social skills teaching as the animals in word world interact with each other. In one episode ant and pig, who are best friends, have a disagreement. In another episode, dog struggles to communicate with the other word friends who all think they know what he is saying. In another episode, one of the word friends loses their home and another takes him in. The "homeless" friend tries to show the hospitable friend he is grateful but ends up irritating the hospitable friend because of their different likes and dislikes. In the end they talk to each other and realize it was a misunderstanding and they both really care for each other - and the "homeless" friend gets his house rebuilt thanks to other word friends.

We also have "welcome to word world" and we love them both! This has some really fun episodes on it. My 2 year old son just loves Word World. He loves the animals and he says the words that they build. He even likes us to sing him the theme song. These dvd's are fun, silly, educational, and engaging - It doesn't get much better!(One of our dvd players is pretty old and so the video is a little choppy when we watch this - but it plays just fine in our newer dvd player - the old one might just not know the proper encoding for this new dvd - just thought I would add that incase anyone else encountered that problem)

My 7yr old liked this show when he was younger but we don't see it on TV anymore (?). We had a dvd from 'back in the day' and my 4 yr old loved it! So we ordered several more. This one in particular was a big hit for my two boys who are crazy about space! It's great for my 7 yr old who has spelling tests now, to see the letters turn into words and my 4 yr old who is learning his letter sounds to help him put the letters together to form a word. Very educational with cute graphics and child appropriate humor. Highly recommend this for educational TV programming/dvd.

This for me, is the best kids show out there. We've loved Dora, Bob, Elmo and the baby Einstein shows...but nothing is as good as Word World. My sons get to choose one show they want to watch every day, for the last four days in a row they have chosen Word World (since we bought it!). They are almost 2 and almost 4. My 4 yr. old now knows the letters that they practice on Word World. Today he was spelling "P-I-E, pie!" and "t-r-e-e, tree!".This is the best show yet!

My daughter loves these videos and they are educational. Bonus! :0) Not sure if this is like other word world videos but they do have a lot of shows which if I'm not carefully to turn off or switch she'll zone out a bit. But overall these a great entertainment/ teaching devices.

The DVD's from Word World are absolutely entertaining and full of learning. My 3 year old daughter absolutely loves these DVD's and she is learning her letters and their sounds. She can even identify certain words like dog, duck, and frog. Of course, her favorite characters, but still for just turning 3 I am quite impressed. I highly recommend these DVD's for any toddler.

Kids loved it

My preschooler cant get enough of this!! The content is great, good stories,educational, bright, funny! I was a little disappointed to find it available in a grocery (yes grocery) store just 2 weeks after I received it from Amazon for $4 less that what I paid...
