Lia's New Love

This is Lia's new love...Super Why. She asked for it all day, every day. Anytime we are in the living room she wants it on. She says Super Why the minute she wakes up from her nap. Thank goodness for DVR so I can pretend it's only on when convenient. I'm somewhat surprised she latched on to this one show after watching it only once. However, Lia loves her cape and reading and since these characters all turn into "Super Readers" it maybe makes sense. I suppose if Lia needs to be hooked on a tv show, this one is stellar. I went to the website and read the series goals and they rock! They are things like...

• to create life long learners who are motivated to read for pleasure and information
• to teach abstract, high order reading skills such as making inferences through theme comprehension
• to help young children learn key reading skills and strategies for using these skills

Honestly, I think LIa likes to dance to the songs. But maybe, just maybe she's picking up on letters and sounds. I also think she likes to say Super Why...but what do I know. She could be making inferences through theme comprehension at one and I have a little Doogie Howser on my hands. All I know is that it is fairly educational and she will let me cook dinner in peace while it's on!

On a final note...Sorry Gymbo, you've been replaced. Maybe if/when we restart Gymboree, Gymbo will return to his place of glory. But for now, long live Super Why!
