Hey there Smart Spenders! This is your chance to win free items from Word World. Smart spending isn’t just about how you spend your money, it’s about how you spend your time too. What I love about so many of the PBS shows is that they have take-away activities you can do with your child. Plus, if I plunk my kid in front of the TV so I can shower, I don’t feel guilty about what he’s watching–their shows are educational.
Word building reinforces the pre-reading concept that letters (and their sounds) make words, and that words have real meaning…and power. WordWorld also introduces essential emergent literacy concepts such as sounding out letters, “chunking” words, and rhyming that all children encounter as they learn to read.
While you may be familiar with the television show, you may not know that WordWorld also offers free online resources for parents and teachers at WordWorld.com. Parents can read interactive eBooks (http://wordworld.com/ebooks.php) with their children, play fun literacy games (http://wordworld.com/ducksalphabet.php) or download coloring pages and activity sheets (http://wordworld.com/forkids.php).
Heather Mc. My kids love rhyming so we are going to try “Solve the Riddle, Make a Rhyme”.
Thank you for the links. We love the show! I have been trying to find an appropriate website for my 3 1/2 year old to learn mouse skill on and this is the one. He loved it and caught on to using the mouse in just a day. We love Duck’s alphabet, and have already completed 4 letters. Thanks again. I am so glad I found your blog.
My daughter will love the Build A Flower activity and the coloring pages. When she’s a bit older, I’ll try out some of the games, too. Thanks for the links!
Definitely the e-books, and of course the coloring pages too! I’m going to print the “Monkey’s Driving Mania” game for our errand trips on Saturday.
Thanks for offering this giveaway!
My daughter loves WordWorld, especially Duck! She would really enjoy the activity “Duck’s Alphabet” as she is 2 1/2 years old and learning her letters and their sounds.
Hello Word World! As a Mom and a preschool teacher I think this is a great show! My two yr old loves it! I have shared the site with my fellow teachers. Phonics is something many kids don’t get enough of. I am glad there is an entertaining way to introduce it to young children. Thanks!
