WORD WORLD on PBS

LINK: Word World

     I do a lot of babysitting, so let's just say I have watched PBS more than a few times in my adult life. I have always thought the show Word World was a great show for kids! I think it is a fun and interactive way for children to watch television for entertainment but at the same time learn vocabulary, phonics, and word meanings all at the same time. I have attached a link to this post of the episode, "Word World: Happy Birthday, Dog!" I think this episode is a great example everything this show has to offer. I love how they build each word, sometimes even sounding it out using the phonics, and then the word forms to look like it's meaning. For example, the word B A R N would form into a large red barn but in the shape of the letters that spell the word. Just watch, it's hard to explain! I bet some of you all that have kids will like this show! It's on PBS! Enjoy!
