Movie Reviews of WordWorld: Lucky Duck
Movie Review: Clean, positive, clever, educational fun
Summary: 4 Stars
My son loves letters and the alphabet. Well, he used to when he was two. Now he loves Care Bears. But back when he loved letters, we found this DVD series. We don't watch much tv or movies at home. But I was pregnant and feeling pretty agreeable to do anything that involved anyone else entertaining him that wasn't me. We found Word World and I have to admit not only did he learn how to spell some words and songs, but I was entertained too. I was especially pleased by how positive the series is. Highly recommend. Dog is our favorite character.Movie Review: Great for kids
Summary: 4 Stars
My kids got into WordWorld from watching it on PBS. It's clever, nice, and well written. But not annoying like many of the kids shows on television today. I enjoy watching it! My kids prefer WordWorld over other shows. It has 4 episodes on the disk that are about 10 to 15 minutes long. Perfect for kids attention span or if you want to use one episode as a reward.Movie Review: educational TV that's fun.
Summary: 4 Stars
I am a first grade teacher and I find that the WordWorld videos are excellent for activation and for remediation of basic phonics skills particularly for students learning english because it also is teaching vocabulary in a very fun and accessible way. I would recommend this for pre-school and kindergarten children who are starting to read as well.Movie Review: Like WordWorld, but not the assembled material
Summary: 3 Stars
First, the bad: The length of each episode is short. I feel they should have put more episodes on each dvd. When compared to other preschool videos, this is short. Curious George is a much better deal! Also, they sneak advertisements in unexpected places. I usually make sure to skip the promotional material for my daughter, but these guys are sneaky about where they put it, and that's not playing fair.
That said, I love WordWorld! The stories really help my preschooler with putting words together and how different letters function together. Some subjects are treated too lightly (e.g., treating fall migration as a vacation), but I suppose you can't accomplish all learning goals with one product (unless you're Sesame Street!). Overall, watching WordWorld has nicely complemented the preschool learning that my pre-kindergartner is getting at her Montessori school.
