The SUPER WHY series focuses on the adventures of four fairytale friends - Whyatt Beanstalk (Jack's younger brother), Red of "Little Red Riding Hood" fame, Littlest Pig from "The Three Little Pigs" and Princess Pea of the classic "The Princess and the Pea." As soon as the home viewer meets these characters - re-imagined as contemporary kids - in Storybrook Village, she becomes actively engaged in their lives. In every episode a character encounters a relatable problem, which ultimately plays out as the theme of that episode. As soon as the problem arises, Whyatt calls his friends to the "Book Club," where they transform into superheroes. Together, they become the Super Readers, jumping into books (literally) to find answers to everyday preschool challenges and help the home viewer learn to read. The fifth Super Reader is always the home viewer: Super You, the most important part of this group. Embarking on exciting reading adventures, it takes all five of the Super Readers to overcome obstacles and save the day!

	Super Why...with the Power to Read! Whyatt, is a curious and clever 9-year old, who invites viewers into each episode and leads them into making the connection between the real world problem and the book of the day. He also happens to be the younger brother of Jack, of Jack and the Beanstalk. Whyatt's curiosity and active imagination lead him to constantly ask questions: who, what, where, when, how, and, of course, WHY! Whyatt transforms into Super Why, the ultimate preschool superhero with the "Power to Read!" As the leader of the Super Readers team, he flies into books to find answers to questions. Wearing his signature super hero costume and wielding his powerful Why Writer, Super Why transforms words and sentences to change the story. For example, he might use his Why Writer to zap the words "big" and "bad" to change the Big Bad Wolf into a Small Good Wolf. Super Why also carries his Super Duper Computer, which he uses to collect Super Letters after each game that form the Super Story Answer (the solution to the problem). Putting together all of the reading skills of the Super Readers, Super Why's "power to read" helps teach literacy concepts, vocabulary, sentence structure, fluency, and word identification. Of course, whenever Super Why demonstrates his powers, he enlists the help of the kids at home every step of the way. With Super Why, kids at home get to experience the sheer power and joy of reading and help save the day!
	Alpha Pig...with Alphabet Power! Pig is a sweet, bashful and slightly timid preschooler. He's the youngest member of The Three Little Pigs' family, who (naturally) live in the sturdiest house on the block - right next door to the Big Bad Wolf & family. Pig is always ready to pitch in and help others, although, like many shy kids, he often needs a little encouragement. Pig transforms into the amazing super hero Alpha Pig. Wearing his signature costume and tool belt, and carrying his trusty toolbox, Alpha Pig comes in to the rescue. As a very young reader, Alpha Pig's focus is on the alphabet, which forms the building blocks of words. He asks the home viewer to help play alphabet games such as singing his version of the ABC song to make letters appear and identifying individual letters. He relies on his Amazing Alphabet tools, including his Mega Magnifying Glass and Lucky Letter Lasso, to help fix a situation. For example, using these alphabet tools, Alpha Pig might fix a sign that tells us which way the Wolf went, lasso letters from a tree to show us the way on our adventure, or build alphabet stairs to climb a beanstalk. Whenever Alpha Pig accomplishes a task he says a celebratory, "Lickety Letters, we did it! Let's give ourselves a big thumbs up!"
	Princess Presto...with Spelling Power! Quirky and slightly clumsy Princess Pea, the daughter of Prince Charming and Princess Priscilla of The Princess and the Pea, is a princess in training. She carries a pretend wand, travels in a rhinestone-studded coach, and takes dance classes with such royalty as Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty. Although known to be a bit of a "drama queen," Pea has a good heart and always speaks her mind. And, yes, Princess Pea loves to eat Peas! Princess Pea transforms into the spectacular Princess Presto. Dressed in her beautiful ball gown and sparkling crown, she twirls in, to the rescue! Waving her Magic Spelling wand, she helps kids write letters to spell words and make objects magically appear. For example, Princess Presto might spell "dress" to get Cinderella ready for the ball or spell the word "open" to make a drawbridge open the door to the giant's castle. She also asks viewers to identify sounds that a letter makes before writing it. Although a bit clumsy at times, Princess Presto has a great sense of humor. And, when it comes to spelling and writing, with the assistance of the home viewer, Princess Presto can help save the day!
	Wonder Red...with Word Power! Red, from Little Red Riding Hood, developed a newfound craving for action and excitement after rescuing her grandmother from that pesky wolf. She's clever, bold, acrobatic, and energetic - in fact she's "ready to roll" on any adventure wearing her roller skates. Quick on her feet and with a well-stocked wicker basket in hand, Red is tough to keep up with. Red transforms into Wonder Red. Wearing her super sonic skates, signature superhero swimsuit costume and carrying her Wonder Words Basket, she uses word decoding, rhyming and blending skills to overcome obstacles. When she reads a word that needs changing, she sings her catchy rhyming song to release words from her basket. With the help of the home viewer, she uses word families to solve problems. For example, if the Super Readers are stuck behind a WALL, she might choose the word BALL so she can roll away the obstacle. Wonder Red is daring and adventurous, racing ahead to meet the wolf, climb the beanstalk, or get to the next chapter of our story adventure. With her high-energy style and sassy personality, Wonder Red keeps the story moving forward, while helping kids practice with word families...and off to Grandma's she goes!
	Woofster...with Dictionary Power! Puppy is just like you're dog...only BETTER! Puppy is Whyatt's best friend, a super puppy with boundless energy AND information! Puppy transforms into Woofster. Woofster is the newest Super Reader and when he transforms, he gets his cape and a dictionary is revealed in his collar! He exhibits typical puppy behavior�but ramped up to SUPER puppy levels! He can run faster than all the other dogs! He can leap higher than any other dog�he can leap as high as your head! He can catch flying objects with super doggie speed! His nose can sniff out any trouble and his ears perk up at the first sign of danger. He�s not just any ordinary dog, because he has puppy power! With Dictionary Power, Woofster helps the Super Readers and home viewer learn new words that appear in each adventure. When they get to a bridge that says �Beware,� Woofster explains that it means, �Watch out!� and they are able to avoid stepping onto a loose plank. Or, when they meet a lion who announces he is �ferocious,� Woofster explains that to mean, �not nice!� and they escape the other way!
Super You...with the Power to Help! The home viewer transforms into a super hero too -- Super You! As Super You, she can jump into classic books and go on reading adventures with the Super Readers. She can actively participate in the game play and use her alphabet, rhyming, spelling or vocabulary skills to overcome story obstacles, meet characters from her favorite stories and create new story endings! Super You also identifies Super Letters across the episode and decodes the Super Story Answer to solve the problem of the day. Reading is power. And Super Why, the Super Readers and Super You have it!
