Alphablocks

Alphablocks is a British computer-animated children's television series that is designed to teach children to spell with the use of four families of animated blocks known as Alphablocks, who represent each of their letters referred to as Alphalings. It is animated by Blue-Zoo and produced by Alphablocks Ltd.[1] Once the Alphablocks discover that whenever they make a word it comes to life, many new adventures in Alphaland of Planet A can be created. This is meant to help preschool children with learning the alphabet, spelling, reading and writing.

Alphablocks: Word Magic

Alphablocks: Word Magic is a spin-off of Alphablocks.

Alphablocks: Word Magic is a series of 26 short episodes published all at the same time on BBC iPlayer in 2020,[2] making the Alphablocks return after 7 years of no episodes, although these episodes tend to recap all of the letters from A-Z.[2]

Each and every episode will begin with the letter doing something, with the narrator describing it. After that, three words will be spelled with that letter, and a little scene will play that has something to do with that word. After the words, the same Alphablock animation will play a second time. There are 26 episodes, one for each letter in the alphabet.[2]

The episodes last for 1–3 minutes.[2]
