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 son loves this show. He is 26 months old and is starting to read. He has the alphabet memorized and can identify letters when he sees them. This show is helping him to identify sounds of letters and how to form words with them. I don't really enjoy children's television shows myself. It is not about how interesting a show is to the parents, it is about how the children like the show and the redeeming qualities that the show contains. Some of the complaints are that it is repetitive and that the story needs to change to solve a particular issue. Children learn from repetition so they need this type of storyline. The story is about books and words so, of course, stories will need to change. It also teaches kids that books are fun and reading is fun. To those who think that you cannot look to a book to find a resolution to a problem, you are incorrect. Books are great to read to identify problems and find resolutions. I hope this show lasts a long time. Kudos to the creators.

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

My little brother ( nearly 2 ) loves this show so much. I love it he loves it.

As much as it bugged me ( still does ) the way they change certain fairy tales which I love ( did not like Rapunzel ), they did an excellent job with making a show that engages little buddies, and also teaches them new words.

My brother often says words, and little things he sees or hears from it and I am amazed sometimes by it. He then adds "From.. Superwhy!" I am really proud of him.

The Animation is okay in the 3D animated parts, I really like the style now it has grown on me. But I really love all the different art once they are in the books.

The music is cool, even though they reuse it every episode, we still enjoy it; and after a while I was watching it too ( and not just because my bro was... ). I keep asking him who each character is, and it is hilarious. He tells me it almost every time I ask. In the parts with the alphabet letters he points to the right letters and everything.

When watching my little bro just soaks up everything like a little sponge, which is why I would much rather him watching an awesome show which has been helping him widen his vocabulary, and not something like peppa pig... which caused him to say ig instead of pig thanks to her little brother.

Super why is one of his favourite shows.

This was one of my childhood shows! But, why is there an offscreen kid audience who shout out the answers? It kinda annoys me. Example: One of the super readers ask "What word/letter is this?" to the viewers. Then, after a little while, One or more kids say the answer. And when Super Why says "Let's put the Super Letter in our super-duper... COMPUTER!", The kids say "COMPUTER" along with him. Why's that? Is that because by having kids shout out answers and participate in the chants, the creators aim to create a sense of connection and active participation? It might seem annoying to some viewers, especially adults and me.
