Super Why on Pbskids

Super Why on pbskids.org is an interactive reading adventure program that is designed to provide children ages three to six with the essential shills they need for reading. The Super Why’s creative renditions of traditional fairy tales also encourage kids to use their imagination and interpretive skills through the interactive format of the program. Alpha Pig (Alphabet Power), Wonder Red (Word Power), Princess Presto (Spelling Power), and Super Why (Power to Read) are literacy powered super heroes that work together with children through story adventures.




The site provides key skills in letter identification, word decoding, phonemic awareness and phonics and reading comprehension. In each episode, the Super Readers experience a preschool-related problem, they fly into the book to find the answer and apply what was learned to resolve the problem.
