Tom Thumb: Pig is ready for an adventure, but his brothers keep telling him he’s too young. The Super Readers jump into the story of Tom Thumb, where Tom sets off on his own adventure. Lucky for him the Super Readers are around to get him out of a few scrapes.
Goldilocks and the Three Bears: Whyatt accidentally messes up Jack’s room and is in BIG trouble! The Super Readers pay a storybook visit to Goldilocks & the Three Bears and find Goldilocks surrounded by three broken chairs, three bowls of porridge and three times the mess! How will they solve this problem before the bears get home?
Rapunzel: Princess Pea’s kitten is stuck in the top of a tree! The Super Readers jump into the story Rapunzel, who is also stranded high up in her tower. When climbing Rapunzel’s hair proves to be a hair-raising idea, The Prince works together with the Super Readers to come up with a brand new rescue plan!
My take: It’s been a while since we’ve seen the show “Super WHY!” – I’m not sure exactly why that is (maybe the time it comes on t.v.) because my kiddos both love the show. Super WHY! is a hit with them because it’s fun. It’s a hit with me because it’s educational – both for my pre-reader and emerging reader (Super Why! teaches the alphabet, spelling, pronunciation, rhyming, phonics, and word usage). The show consists of a group of friends who transform into Super Readers to solve problems by following the storyline of a book (from Wikipedia: “As they progress through the events of the story, they encounter obstacles, which can be solved by applying their literacy skills to change the story. As they overcome these obstacles, they are rewarded with red glittery “Super Letters”. These Super Letters are then uploaded into the Super Duper Computer, eventually forming the word(s) that make up the solution to the Super Big Problem.”) I enjoyed watching the new renditions of some of the classic stories of my youth – the new ending to Goldilocks was fun – and both my son (emerging reader) and daughter (pre-reader) stayed glued to this DVD and called out answers during the stories. We even had to postpone bedtime a half hour so they could finish the last show so I think it’s safe to say Super WHY! is still a big hit in our house.
