Super Why!

Perfect fit to help build reading skills.

Tivo has many on "save until delete" because my preschooler loves them.

As their website says it best, "SUPER WHY takes an innovative approach to learning by promoting reading as a powerful, meaningful experience for children aged 3 to 6 years old. We created the original show based on our expert knowledge of preschoolers' level of development, the entertaining features of television and the importance of a strong literacy curriculum. The interactive format encourages kids to actively participate in each episode. As they watch SUPER WHY they are completely absorbed in the adventure of the story while engaging in challenging games and activities. This format enables children to practice the critical skills that they need to learn to read. The unique balance between using interactivity to practice key literacy skills and telling engaging stories that make literacy relevant to children's own lives is a powerful new way to teach reading."

Very well done show. We are hooked. Super Readers to the rescue! PBS is back in our line up with this one.

My 22-month old son loves this show. He loves it because of the singing and interactive nature of the show. I love it because I teach reading at an elementary school! I enjoy the premise of the show immensely - the ability to solve "every day" problems with solutions from a book or story. I also enjoy the fact that Whyatt's super power is the power to read and a big deal is made of it each and every time. Each of the other characters has "control" over one aspect of reading - spelling power, word power, and alphabet power. All of these skills are important for thinking about letters and sounds as connected and a part of the reading process. Kudos to PBS for providing yet another powerful show that helps our kids learn!

I recently had the opportunity to watch Super Why!, a popular children's television show aimed at teaching kids how to read and solve problems. While I appreciate the show's good intentions, I couldn't help but notice some of its shortcomings. For starters, the characters felt a bit one-dimensional and needed more depth. The repetitive plot lines, which follow a predictable formula, could become monotonous. The show's bright and colorful animations are visually appealing and help to hold one's attention. I also enjoyed the catchy songs, which are fun to sing. In my opinion, this show is an excellent choice for young children who are just starting to learn how to read. However, it may be less engaging for older kids or adults looking for a more complex and nuanced viewing experience.

Super WHY! is one of the worst kids shows that I have ever seen. It teaches kids nothing, the songs are corny, it is not educational and the CGI is just plain agitating. I am not one to disagree with those who hate the show. Honestly, I have seen more negative than positive reviews for this show. 75% of the reviews are negative and there are some really mature people. This show contains no educational value or age-appropriate educational material whatsoever. More reasons why I dislike this show is because of the dumb plots, cheesy dialogue, horrid special effects and the abysmal story lines. Besides, it teaches bad morals. Saying that is a "model of what preschool television should be", is a load of junk. They don't know what they're talking about. I would never recommend Super WHY! to anyone. Te reason why some kids keep crying for or get addicted to junk is because of this show poisoning the minds of children everywhere. For people(parents/children) who seek real preschool mater, watch "Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood" instead. It's truly wonderful, fun, and really engaging for the kids to watch. Super WHY! however isn't. Parents, I highly advise you to keep your kids as far away from this show as possible. They'll thank you later.

Thanks for reading.

My boys love this show!!! I like it too. It's educational and has a good story line. The opening and closing theme song are very catchy
