I have to admit, there are so many awful kids shows out there these days. Things that I can't stand to watch and things that I refuse to let him watch. But recently, we have come across the show Word World.
This so ROCKS! Corbin has learned so much from it. Also, I enjoy watching it too.. It is all about words and reading.
Corbin gets so much out of this show, he has actually begun to READ! First, we would ask him to spell words that he sees in the show. Like the characters Dog, Duck, Pig, and Frog. Also words in the episodes ball, book, pie, etc. He was doing this all pretty much from memory.
I thought that I would try to see if he could put together words himself. I wrote the word "TOP". Oh, to see his little mind starting to work in overdrive to sound out letters!!! The joy! He did it! My husband and I continued to list simple words and he just amazed us both.
Every night when we read him a book, we point out words and he reads them to us. This is such a wonderful thing. I feel proud to be his mom. He is smart, sweet and such a little gentleman!
Seriously, you need to check out this show.

I am right there with you, babe! I love that stage!! Check out starfall.com, too - that's how Dylan did it! He loves Word World online, too.
It's so fun to see them learn and grow! We love that show at our house too!
I haven't heard of this show but I will check it out and be sure to pass it on to my friends/family that have young'uns :-)
I was thinking about suggesting starfall.com to you, but it looks like someone already has. It's a great place for that age to learn more about letters and sounds. Fun!
