The WordFriends go on comic
adventures and face challenges that can
only be resolved with the right word. That
word is built letter by letter, sound by
sound, during the funky “Build a Word”
song at the end of every episode. Once
the word is built, it “morphs”–comes
alive–into the thing it is!

Word building reinforces the pre-reading
concept that letters (and their sounds)
make words, and that words have real
meaning…and power. The series also
introduces literacy concepts that
preschoolers will encounter as they
become readers, such as sounding out
letters and rhyming. But most of all,
WordWorld helps children get excited
about reading and see words as their
friends.

"Sid the Science Kid", The Jim Henson Company's
first series for PBS KIDS that features a practical
in-school science curriculum, uses music and
humor to celebrate children's natural curiosity
about science in everyday life. The energetic and
inquisitive Sid starts each episode with a new
question ("Why are my shoes shrinking?" "Why do
bananas get mushy?") and embarks on a fun-filled
day of finding answers with the help of family and
friends.
SID THE
SCIENCE KID

SUPER WHY is an interactive reading adventure!
We begin each 24-minute reading adventure in
Storybrook Village, a magical 3-D world hidden
behind the bookshelves in a children's library.
The Storybrook Village is the home of your
child's favorite fairytale characters. Immediately,
you'll meet the four best friends who anchor each
episode: Red, from Little Red Riding Hood; Pig
from The Three Little Pigs, Princess from The
Princess and The Pea, and Whyatt, the curious
younger brother of Jack from Jack and The
Beanstalk who discovers he has the power to fly
inside books to find answers to his questions.
Each of these characters is re-imagined as an
everyday kid, not unlike your child's own friends:
Red rides roller blades; Pig drives a trike;
Princess loves tea parties and dress-up; and
Whyatt is the group's natural leader.
