This is the first time I have been really impressed by a children's television show in a few years. "Super Why" is all about learning to read. The main characters are storybook heroes - they have an everyday challenge (siblings throwing tantrums, friends knocking down their block towers, etc) and they figure out the solution by jumping into a story (Jack and the Beanstalk, 3 Little Pigs, etc) and changing the story so that everyone ends up happy. They focus on learning letters, sounds, and making reading fun. I feel like my kids actually learn something and it also appeals to their love of super-heroes. My kids love it and (except for the theme song, which keeps playing in my head over and over...) I do too!
Have any of you seen "Super WHY!"? If so, what are your thoughts?
What time is it on at? That sounds like one my kids would like.
ReplyDeleteAbby loves Super Why! She runs around the house all day long saying "Super Readers to the rescue!" I love the show too!! Thank goodness for good ol' PBS.
ReplyDeleteSpencer loves this show. I record it on the DVR and he watches it over and over. I love it. I find myself singing the little theme song myself. Great Post!!!
ReplyDeleteMy kids are addicts too. Ben has loved practicing his letter-reading skills while watching it. Don't you love PBS?
ReplyDeleteLuke loves it too. He sings all the songs and will even say his name when they ask for it. He fully participates in the show. Kudos to PBS!
ReplyDeleteI have to admit that I turn it on while I fix Belize's breakfast to keep her distracted and then i have the theme song stuck in my head to rest of the day, but I secretly love it.
