I said quite a bit the first time, this time I'll just say.... I wish shows like Super Why would leave out the letter 'and' when they are saying the alphabet. It is 'y' 'z' on the path, not 'y' 'and' 'z'. This seems minor, but to a 3 year old, it turns the word 'and' into the 26th letter of the alphabet and 'z' into the 27th....

PBS is all he watches. He is talking so well for his age. Saying complete sentences. He can even count to 10 already! I am amazed at what all the shows teach and how they can affect a child with learning! It is Awesome! My 21 month old LOVES Super Why! PBS is all he watches. He is talking so well for his age.

She loves it. The songs, the colors. She is in paradise. When SuperWhy comes on she is jumping and trying to sing the song. Hopefully it will continue to develop her skills!

My 2-yr-old was interested in playing with letter toys but not actually learning the alphabet. Now she can sing the whole alphabet while drumming on her hand (building the letters like Alpha Pig). After we're done singing, she says "Amazing alphabet singing, Mama." So sweet! She loves the pace of the stories, and she participates in all the ways she can. It's been a great way to help words and books come alive! I actually like the repetition because she really starts to learn what to look for. Keep it coming!!!!!

Soon after, she started to spell words with characters on TV. I figured she must have memorized the whole episode (all of them :)) by then. Well... sure enough one day, as I am helping her with shoes, she looks at my sweatshirt and spells letter by letter, word by word - not one mistake! My 2.5 year old tought herself how to spell through this PBS show. I am amazed and I feel guilty that I haven't incouraged her gift for letters before, but... hey, I had no idea 2.5 year olds can spell (shame on me)... Princes Presto and the gang did it! I LOVE IT!!! IT WORKS!! My 2.5 year old started to watch SuperWhy few months ago. Soon after, she started to spell words with characters on TV.
