Reception

Critical

Emily Ashby of Common Sense Media gave the series 4 out of 5 stars; saying that, “The show is perfectly suited for preschoolers' learning level, and it will entertain them as it reinforces their knowledge of letters, sounds, and simple words. With its imaginative design and with the various font styles used to create the letter-based objects, the WordWorld package is delightful enough to draw in parents almost as readily as kids.”
