Welcome to WordWorld, a colorful, word-rich place where friends have fun and meet challenges through word play. Each episode of WordWorld is a fun narrative built around a wacky troupe of WordFriends™ who invite the preschool viewer to join them on comic adventures, where problems can only be resolved by "building" the right word.  Word building is a unique moment when children witness a word form and then 'morph' into the thing it is! Word building reinforces the pre-reading concept that letters make words, and that words have real meaning...and power.
