Super Why! Power to Read for Positive User Reviews

Why WritersI love this app. I'm a teacher and mom of a 2 year old. I love that all points of reading are covered - word families, spelling, comprehension, and letter recognition! I would LOVE to see in the "Why" game were when Why is reading the sentence, the words highlight so the kids can follow along (as in Why Writers' Highlight). Also, when you choose the wrong word, it would be nice to be able to touch the sentence to hear it again. Thanks for making this wonderful program an interactive tool for reading!.Version: 0

GreatThis is an amazing game for young kids. A great game for a great price that is a great learning tool..........great..Version: 1.5

Great potential.My four year old seems to really like this app and I think it has good potential as an educational game. The "earning a sticker" concept is Ingenious; he loves that part of it. The games are fairly simple...I think ages 4/5 are about right for this app, I can't imagine kids with true reading ability being very engaged by this one. We haven't had any stability issues yet, fingers crossed, so no complaints there!.Version: 1.4

I love this app it is very funI love this app..Version: 4.2

Great learning toolMy daughter loves Super Why! and loves this game. She has been using it extensively for the past few days and we have had zero crashes. There are essentially 4 games to choose from which vary in difficulty - just like the show - from identifying letters, and identifying letter sounds in the context of actual words, to rhyming, writing, and completing sentences. Those familiar with the show will immediately recognize the formats. You are rewarded with "stickers" when you successfully complete the tasks. My ONLY complaint is that there isn't more content. I didn't actually count but there may only be up to 20 scenarios for each game. My daughter doesn't seem to mind, but i wish there was more. Maybe in an ads-on later....Version: 0

How to fix the sound problemTurn silent mode off and it should be fixed..Version: 4.2

LOVE THIS APPYou have to turn your sound on in order to hear it. So switch the little switch on the left top side of your phone and you’ll have sound. I literally bought this app three years ago and both my kids still love it. Perfect for 18 months to four years!! Love! Highly recommend.Version: 4.2

Great for preKI didn't have any trouble installing,but there are still a couple bugs I noticed. When tracing letters, sometimes the contact is lost and my daughter has to keep tracing,but that's not so bad... Can just be frustrating for a little one that may feel like they're not doing it correctly. A HUGE thumbs up for the spelling section. Many other preschool spelling apps do not require for children to place letters in the correct order. Really? As far as I know, cat is not spelled t-c-a, which is how my little girl spelled it and got a "sticker" for it. I love coaching her with phonics and spelling, but we both enjoy a game she can play independently. When spelling words, she must first identify the letter that makes the (blank) sound. When the correct letter is found (chosen from a group of 4), the letter is identified and the child traces the letter... It is then placed in the correct position and then proceeds to repeat until the word is spelled correctly. Lots of stickers and positive verbal reinforcement. Only downed it a star, because I feel that after all the technical issues that have been reported, they should fix the bugs or lower the price. Still worth it as long as it works..Version: 1.5

The Power to Read!I'm not sure where my 2 year-old heard of Super Why!, but he kept talking about it until I finally bought him some episodes on iTunes. Since he's now always play-acting the scenes, I tried to find the music on iTunes, and discovered the app instead. It's brilliant! Not only does it do a great job of embodying the various characters, they've come up with a really useful and engaging way to teach basic reading skills. For example, Princess Presto's "letter tracing" game is far simpler for my son than the full-fidelity Montessori version. At this rate, he should be reading before he turns three! :-).Version: 1.4

My 4-year-old son loves this gameSuper Why appeals to my four-year-old on several levels. The games are a lot like those on the T.V. show, with focus on letter recognition, phonics and sight-reading. He likes playing the games and earning stickers for completing each one. At the end of each session he goes into the sticker album and creates pictures with the new stickers he has earned. He asks to play almost every day. It hasn't crashed so far, but I didn't give it 5 stars because it allows both "C" and "K" to appear as choices when the child is asked which letter makes the sound of a hard "C". My son picked the "K" and was confused when the game said it didn't make that sound. Other than that, we highly recommend this game!.Version: 0

My autistic son loves this!My non-verbal 7 year old son loves this app! He is a fan of Super Why! But there are so many games to play on here it is worth it even if you haven't seen the show! He's done extremely well at the word games, and he even just enjoys the background music at times! The videos are super cute to watch also! And also, I love that they have a large variety of words they use and not just the same ones over and over! Def recommend this app!.Version: 2.33

Just like the show!If your child likes the show, then they will enjoy this game. Each of the four characters have their own game type just like their little segments in the show. Winning "stickers" of the different characters in each game allows you to use them in a fun fifth area. Your child can place these stickers on to several different backdrops with a touch. My kid really enjoys this game and it's also a great learning experience..Version: 0

3 year old daughter LOVES thisMy daughter loves this app. She is learning letters and words and motor skills. She played it for almost 2 hours on a long vacation drive. Previous versions were buggy. It's been working great now. Great work. Make more like this I'll buy it in a heartbeat. 3 bucks is nothing. If you think that's a lot...It's the same cost as a soda and candy bar or some cheapo checkout aisle toy that dumb parents buy for their kids ALL the time..Version: 0

Great appNot sure about the problems with loading but we had no problems. also one reviewer mentioned the the wand in the tracing, it could be that you need to trave in the correct format / order and I can see for beginniners that might be frustrating so maybe some prompts if you dont get it the first time would be helpful. My kids love this app. It has something for everyone. It is too easy for my 7 year old but still he likes to help the little ones. Nice app, thumbs up..Version: 1.5

3 1/2 year old loves it.Our 3 1/2 year old has taken a huge interest in reading and he loves this app. For the low cost if he moves on to other things I’m not so worried, and in the meantime he has learned about rhyming and is practicing sounding letters out..Version: 2.33

FIXED!!!NO SOUNDSo I had just added a bad review for this because of all the reviews with sound issues. I’ve never left a bad review and was really surprised PBS still had an app with such long standing issues. So I did some comments research. Came across one comment that said the issue is that if your phone’s mute button is on then the app sound is also off. Tried it-SOUND FIXED. So happy to have randomly come across this one comment. So I changed my review from 1 star to 4. It doesn’t get 5 though because this is a long standing issue and so this fix should be pinned to the top. I’m relieved to have found such a simple fix. Hooray!.Version: 4.2

Wonderful!My 20 month old daughter loves Super Why! I love the educational component and how it keeps her attention in an interactive way. The messages are very positive and I love that it teaches kids to look to books to solve their problems in a constructive manner. This app is a wonderful extension of that with the ability to practice the alphabet, spelling, rhyming, reading and even writing their letters. This was worth every penny and I hope to see more PBS apps in the future!.Version: 1.4

Completely satisfiedAfter searching the app store for what seemed like forever, my autistic son and I found what her describes as "the only app that's cool" Thank you to the producers of this app..Version: 1.5

Super Why BundleThis is a great app. For reference this app is running on IPad 7 generation. The visual, sound, and the os work smooth on the iPad no bugs, delays, load speed or sound issues. Super Why from PBS is one of my daughter favorite shows and she love being part of their adventure. She picking up spelling, letter identification, sounds, and all around enjoys this app. This is a great app and the bundle packet is a great value. Would recommend to any parent looking for a high quality beginners reading and spelling game..Version: 4.2

SUPER Super Why for IPadAlready had this on my EVO 4G so I knew the basics. My 2 yr old grandson basically learned letter recognition etc. from the Super Why TV show, so this has now become his favorite go to when he needs to entertain himself, like the long ride to NanaPa's house! (Or the periods of times when Nana & Grandpa are boring!) The program loaded in seconds (I have a fast wifi connection) and ran flawlessly so I have no Idea what the other reviewers problem was....I did learn on "the other side" that it is best to dl it with wifi.... The app itself is built on the 4 strengths of the 4 characters. Alpha Pig's is the easiest and best to start with. Like the TV show, you follow the road and choose the correct path by choosing the correct letter. Even Wonder Red's Rhyming words was enjoyable for him, by substituting letter recognition for rhyming recognition. All in all it is a very enjoyable app that should bring hours of fun and learning to any Super Why fan... And even though it is cheaper on the other platform, playing it on an IPad is by far a superior platform and easier.. And the letter tracing it much better on the IPad..Version: 1.5

No Sound ProblemsWorks great!.Version: 4.2
