Super Readers To The Rescue!
Erica tipped me off that Super Why is Owen’s favorite TV show and I should check it out. My kids love it! Even Hunter and Emma don’t mind watching it. I think they like to see how excited the little girls get. Hannah and Sabrina both think it’s the best show ever. Hannah answers back when the characters ask questions, they both dance along, and Sabrina will bring me the remote and say, “Wuh-Why.” The kids have assigned themselves characters, so in our house Hunter is Super Why, Emma is Wonder Red, Sabrina is Alpha Pig, and Hannah is Princess Presto. The show starts with a common childhood problem like: Wyatt’s baby sister won’t stop crying. Then the kids all get together and go into a fairy tale to see how they can solve the problem. For example with the crying problem they go into Jack & The Beanstalk to see how Jack stops the giant from being so noisy. It’s a blessing and curse having TiVo, because you can save several episodes and play them over and over. I’m not sure what it says about my mothering, but we have had a couple of Super Why marathons where the girls watch it several times a day.

I believe in marathons. Sometimes it’s the only way some things get done. I have never heard of this show, but I am sure that my kids would love it.
Gracen and I just watched an episode ‘ON DEMAND’, and she loved the pig! She’s really into pigs, Princesses and Dora right now. Thanks Amy, I’m sure my other children will also love it too! and Ciel just told me the other night that there isn’t much TV watching at your house, there is a lot of playing, fun with toys and make-belive. I doubt there is a mother out there that hasn’t had a marathon of one kind or another to aid in getting something done once in a while, so you’re in good company!
I am so interested in this show. I will have to find it. It sounds like a great one. My kids also love to be the characters in their favorite shows. SO FUN.
Is this show on PBS?
We have marathon days. Who doesn’t? Estee loves Strawberry Shortcake and Max and Ruby lately.She loved Dora for the longest time. She just recently decided to change it up and I thank her.
This is also my kids’ favorite show right now. It’s on 4 times a day here since we get 3 different PBS stations, but we only watch it once, luckily there is a showing even if our schedule is off! It’s a good one and Leo is getting great at his letters. There are printables and games on the superwhy page at pbskids.org/superwhy….
This is my kids favorite show!! I will admit that we have something like 10 different episodes saved on our Tivo. They clear the living room floor of any toys that might be hanging around and twirl and dance as the music comes on. Ryan loves reading the letters and trying to guess the words. Krista loves getting into the fairytale stories and pretending she’s princess presto. It’s a cute show 🙂
