As we've been fantastic parents raising a little boy who says things like, "It's okay, we all get scared sometimes" and "No thank you very much," we also need to plop him in front of the tv for hours at a time. Most shows are annoying, don't catch his attention, or have all of 2 episodes available on Netflix that we need to watch 18 times apiece.
Super Readers is a welcome change in our home. It's really good at helping with letters, spelling, and basic reading. Makes it fun with the little kid super heroes and Alpha Pig. He's been singing their version of the ABCs lately. Same letters, but a new and exciting rhythm. And then there's how he's taking lessons learned and applies them to every day life.
The Super Readers start the efforts to fix a problem by putting their hands in and yelling "Super Readers...TO THE RESCUE!" He had me put my hand straight out this afternoon and I couldn't figure out why. Until he put his hand on mine and I yelled "Super Readers," which made him scream "TO THE RESCUE!" at the top of his lungs. Whenever we have a horrible problem, like the dog's water being empty, we change the story to fix the problem. Followed by an announcement that "Super Readers saved the day!" So far, Super Readers have saved the day for emptying the dishwasher, making lunch, and putting pants on. Actually, that last one probably was a 'saved the day' situation.
