Super Why

Maybe the post title is misleading. Perhaps it should say, "Super Why".

Super Why is a cute new computer animated show on PBS. Though Jackson isn't able to watch it on TV (as it's on at 9:00 am), he loves the website; and so do I! Yes, it's still a show geared towards kids younger than him, (which means Cal is benefiting from it too!). But, he's playing many of the games on the site including spelling games and vocabulary exercises. He's recently taken to identifying with the main character (Wyatt) "Super Why with the power to read," and maybe, somehow, by the grace of God, Jackson will gain the power to read.

Want to check it out for yourself? Here's a link:

Super Why has already made magic in our house: we created an iron on using images from the web and viola Jackson is wearing long sleeved shirts...yes, we've graduated beyond the Bert and Ernie patches.

Both of my kids love Super Why. :) They like the website, too.
