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.

Okay, don't get me wrong. I loved this show when I was a toddler. But later on in life, I was like, "One of the most stupid shows I ever laid eyes on." Even two of my OC characters, Kailey Evans, and Kasey Anderson, hate the show. Seriously. Princess Pea's cat is stuck in a tree. Girl! Go get the firefighters or get a ladder! Don't go into a frickin book and mess up the story. Because going into fairytales and messing up stories AND not bothering to fix them makes this show a total rip-off of Whatever After. I know Whatever After was later, but I don't care. TOTAL RIP-OFF if I've ever seen one.

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.

It honestly did help my kiddo with letter recognition and letter sounds. But it's also an old show, and it unfortunately also hardcore pushes gender stereotypes. The boy is in charge and the girls all wear dresses. When they go into books, Red changes from a short red dress to what looks like a bathing suit for absolutely no reason that I can fathom. Meanwhile, Princess Pea gets even more frilly. Because we wouldn't know they were girls if they didn't wear dresses and play tea party. Someone might get confused.

And the books they go into are usually old fairy tales or nursery rhymes. They obviously have no issue changing the stories, but they never break those gender roles.

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
