The second season of the break-through children’s television program WordWorld begins February 13th with a special Valentine’s Day themed episode. In just two years, WordWorld has been made available to 22 countries, and according to a recent study funded by the Department of Education, the WordWorld television series has proven to be an effective pre-literacy tool for kids! Only 1 in 8 children’s television programs meet that critera, so you can feel good about letting your kids watch WordWorld.

The February 13th program features two episodes with a musical short in between. I had the opportunity to view the episodes and share the information with you so you can plan to watch if you are interested. Episode details:

1. My Fuzzy Valentine:
When Sheep decides she wants to make a special Valentine song for her friend Bear, she runs into trouble finding just the right rhyming word. With the help of Fly, she discovers the perfect ending to her song and gives Bear a special Valentine’s Day gift.

2. Fruit Cha Cha: short musical number with Crab and Duck singing a song to Shark about choosing healthy foods as snacks.

3. Love, Bug: Bug wants to sign his name on his Valentine to his special WordFriend, but he doesn’t know how. With lots of help and encouragement from Frog, he learns how to trace letters to spell out his name, and surprises his special WordFriend with a signed Valentine.

You may have noticed WordWorld also has educational toys available at stores like Target. In December I was sent the Snug As A Bug Magnetic Play Set, and Kaitlyn loves it! I have to help her put some of the letters together to spell out the bugs, and she has fun mixing and matching, too. The best part is that the play mat folds over and secures with Velcro, and the pieces store in a pouch or right inside.  It’s fun for her to move the pieces around, and by this summer I’ll start helping her sound out the letters and use her finger to trace them.  I just love toys that are educational AND fun!

WordWorld also has a great website with a book, a video, and games. Check it out with your preschoolers!
