Key and Peele

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.

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.

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.

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!
