Mistakes are still fun in SUPER WHY!
Choose the letter that Princess Presto pronounces
Cool! You just won another sticker from Wonder Red.
Now it's time to play with those stickers
Reading For Heroes
SUPER WHY! from PBS KIDS makes learning to read and write so fun that kids won't realize they're absorbing essential literacy skills. This app features an intuitive, kid-friendly interface, and best of all, kids learn not to be afraid of learning from mistakes. Based on the hit PBS KIDS show, this colorful, action-packed app features the show's four characters in four different games. Journey to Storybook Village and learn the wonders of reading and writing with Super Why, Princess Presto, Wonder Red, and Alpha Pig. And why yes, Alpha Pig does fly!
Four Games, Four Worlds
When you launch SUPER WHY!, you're presented with a menu of four games: Super Why's Story Saver, Princess Presto's Wands Up Writing, Wonder Red's Rhyming Time, and Alpha Pig's Lickety Letter Hunt. It's easy to exit from each game and start another one at any time. Clearly written rules are available from the main screen. For an added challenge, combine all four games in "Play All" mode by selecting the SUPER WHY! book.
SUPER WHY! to the Rescue
Super Why's Story Saver challenges players to choose the correct word in a sentence. You see a scene from a story accompanied by a sentence with a missing word. For example, you'll see an elves' workshop with some elves busy making shoes. The sentence reads, "The elves made ___ at night." You must choose the missing word from "milkshakes", "shoes", and "sandwiches". If you choose "milkshakes", a milkshake will appear in the workshop. That can't be right! But you'll still get a good laugh as you learn from your mistake. Super Why encourages you to keep trying to choose the right word.
Spelling Magic
Princess Presto's Wands Up Writing teaches your kids letter sounds and how to write them. You're trying to spell out a word. Princess Presto shows you a series of letters, and asks you which letter makes the sound she pronounces. When you choose the right letter, the letter appears in one of the word blanks. Then the good princess will help you trace the letter with her magic wand.
Rhyming and Flying
Wonder Red's Rhyming Time also helps you practice proper pronunciation and reading through fun rhymes. Help Wonder Red choose the word that correctly rhymes with another word she shows you. In Alpha Pigs' Lickety Letter Hunt, you're helping Alpha Pig find his way home by identifying letters he needs at each intersection. When you choose the right letter, Alpha Pig flies closer to home.
Stickers, Stickers, Who's Got the Stickers?
All these games are part of a great reward system. Every time you successfully complete a game, you win a cool sticker. As you play the games, you'll quickly amass a lot of stickers. Use these stickers in My Super Stickers section, which contains different pictures to paste your sticker collection on. Nice!
Gentle Guidance
What makes SUPER WHY! such an effective educational app is its seamless combination of fun, helpful characters and constructive criticism. Your child learns that he or she can learn from making mistakes; the games are never graded nor does the child ever "lose" a game. SUPER WHY! helps children build scholastic self-confidence while instilling in them the notion that reading and writing is way too much fun. This app is also a neat supplement to the SUPER WHY! television program and website.

My son loves the game, but it doesn't adjust properly on the screen. It's shows up in only a section of my Evo 3D phone. Please make an update!

Please make this app scale to different size screens. Please. If this were fixed, this would be a 5-star app.

My 3 year old is having so much fun with this app and her Super Why friends! She has really taken off with her letter recognition lately so this is the perfect FUN and EDUCATIONAL game for her to play with. With the 4 different games, there's something she can easily do now (Pig's letter recognition game) and things for her to learn and grow into with the other three games (rhyming, letting writing and sentence completion). The 4 games use the different characters/skills so it doesn't get old and she can pick what she's in the mood for... or randomize through all of them to mix it up. Sticker book is great fun too! This has very quickly become the go to app on my phone. Can't go wrong with PBS!

super why did I buy this?
This may be good on a phone but not for a tablet. It only takes up a fourth of the screen. I'm hoping for an update that will fix this and make the money spent worthwhile.

Not good for tablets!
This is why Amazon sucks. The Google Play Store version is on 2.1, updated earlier this year with screen compatibility. This one is on version 1.0, hasn't been updated since 2011. Read more

Excellent
Well written/designed learning game. Wish the graphics would take up more than just a 1/4 of the screen, but I understand why they did it that way, once you see Super Why fly off... Read more

please fix for tablets!
this is really annoying for my son. He is 4 and this isn't formatted for tablets. He can still play it just on a tiny part of the screen. The developers need to make this work!
