Super
Readers to the rescue! With an interactive approach to reading
education, classic fairytales with an innovative preschool
twist and colorful and empowering young heroes, Super
Why captivates children, families and teachers alike.
This breakthrough
preschool series is designed to help children ages 3 to 6
with the critical skills that they need to learn
(and love) to read, as recommended by the National Reading
Panel.
Each 24-minute reading adventure begins in
Storybrook Village, a magical 3-D world hidden behind the
bookshelves
in a children’s
library. Immediately, you meet the four best friends who anchor
each episode: Red from Little Red Riding Hood; Pig from The
Three Little Pigs; Princess from The Princess and the Pea;
and Whyatt, the curious younger brother of Jack from Jack and
the Beanstalk.

Each episode starts
with a problem to which preschoolers can relate. That’s
when the characters transform into literacy-powered super
heroes! Wonder Red takes on word power, Alpha Pig has alphabet
power, Princess Presto has spelling power and Super Why has
the power to read.
Using their super powers, the heros literally
fly inside books to solve problems. Each episode ends with
the characters modeling
the behavior, so children can actually see the problem being
fixed.
