WordWorld: The Race to Mystery Island

Welcome to WordWorld, where words are the stars of the show! 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 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!
