    Please skip this show! I hate it!

    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.

    This show is great

    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 little one loves it

    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.

    Super Why!: An Engaging Show for Young Children but Lacks Depth

    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.
