PlaySquare’s WordWorld apps are billed as Touchable Television. Children (ages 3 – 6) play and learn words and letters as the play in Word World. In the first FREE appisode, Happy Birthday Dog, Dog thinks that everyone has forgotten his birthday. Kids are engaged in the story as they help gather things for a birthday party to surprise Dog.
There are so many wonderful things about this app. It is colorful and engaging. Early literacy skills (letter recognition, letter sound, word building, word recognition) are developed throughout the story. The characters are funny and lovable. But the best part is of the app is how the developers (media experts from Nickelodeon, Sesame Workshop, LeapFrog, and MIT) have used the letters of the word to form the object being spelled – very clever! I LOVE this app!!

Highly recommended
Also FREE for a limited time, A Christmas Present for Dog. Something is wrong with Dog’s Christmas present. Kids help save the day by completing activities in 13 interactive scenes. Another colorful and engaging app from Playsquare!
