Program description

Super WHY! is a 3-D animated adventure series, produced by the creators of Blue's Clues, designed to provide children ages 3 to 6 with the critical skills they need to read (and love to read!).

The show is based on the adventures of four fairytale friends who live in Storybrook Village: Whyatt Beanstalk, Jack's younger brother; Red, from Little Red Riding Hood; Pig, from the Three Little Pigs; and Princess, from The Princess and the Pea. In each episode, they transform into their superhero alter egos, the Super Readers, and literally fly inside books using the power of literacy to solve problems. All the while they engage a fifth superhero, Super You, who is actually the viewer.

For ages 3-6.

Series Goals

To create lifelong readers who are motivated to read for pleasure and information
To teach abstract, high order reading skills such as making inferences through theme comprehension
To stress to parents and caregivers the importance of reading to their children
To help young children learn key reading skills and strategies for using these skills
To surround children with literacy learning opportunities in all aspects of their lives
To provide practice with reading skills through interactive stories and literacy-based games

In every episode, one of the friends encounters a problem with another Storybrook Village character (For instance, Jill from the Jack and Jill rhyme is not being nice). As in real life, the problems require preschool social skills to resolve.

Helping Kids Prepare for School

Super WHY! aims to help young children learn key reading skills as identified by the National Reading Panel, including alphabet skills, word families, spelling, comprehension and vocabulary.
