It's Back to School in a couple of weeks, and I'll be sending 3Po and Jammy off to kindergarten. I'm not worried in the least about how they'll perform, thanks to Alfie's dedicated bedtime reading and the reading activities we've been doing throughout the summer. Oh, and let's not forget to thank the PBS Kids show Super WHY.
If your preschoolers haven't gotten into Super WHY yet, it's definitely worth a try. It's entertaining for youngsters because it features four young superheroes -- Alpha Pig, Wonder Red, Princess Presto, and Super Why -- who solve problems by going into fairytale books to search for the answers. It's a very interactive show, much like Dora the Explorer, Go Diego Go and Blue's Clues (the creator of Super WHY is also the creator of Blues Clues), and you'll often hear my kids shouting answers back at the tv. And parents will like the strong educational component. It really helps build those preliteracy skills like letter recognition, word recognition, phonics and rhyming. 3Po and Jammy have gotten a lot of sight reading and sounding out practice with the simple words they see on the Super WHY shows!
It looks like we're not the only family out there who love Super WHY, because the last Super Why DVD giveaway I hosted on Bonggamom Finds drew quite a few responses.... so we're having another Super WHY DVD giveaway! One lucky Bonggamom Finds reader will win the DVD Super WHY! Jack and the Beanstalk & Other Fairytale Adventures, which just came out on July 29th.
We received a copy of the new Super WHY DVD several weeks ago, and my kids love it. Their favorite episode is Jack and the Beanstalk, where the 4 Super Readers figure out how to soothe Super Why's (or Whyatt's) little sister by going into the Jack and the Beanstalk story and learning how Jack soothes the giant. The DVD also has 3 other episodes: the Princess and the Pea, The Three Little Pigs, and Little Red Riding Hood, as well as special features like coloring pages, music videos and interactive games. If your child is a Super WHY fan, you've got to get this DVD -- but if you're lucky, you could win your own copy!
