The standout, imagination-stimulating series focuses on the adventures of four fairytale friends who transform into reading-powered superheroes: Alpha Pig with Alphabet Power, Wonder Red with Word Power, Princess Presto with Spelling Power, Super Why with the Power to Read and Super YOU with the Power to Help. Together, they are the "Super Readers"! The Super Readers jump into books (literally) to find answers to everyday preschool challenges and embark on exciting adventures, where they play interactive reading games to overcome obstacles and save the day. In every fantastical episode of Super WHY!, young viewers dive directly into a pop-up story to experience a brightly-illustrated children's tale brought to magical life.

A hero-themed marathon in which the Super Readers fly into four stories and real-life kids discuss heroism. Included: "George and the Dragon", about a knight facing his fears; the classic "Little Red Riding Hood"; "The Swiss Family Robinson", about a family stranded on an island; and "Rapunzel", in which a princess stuck in a tower learns how to rescue herself.

Comprised of episodes #214 ("Around the World Adventure") and #206 ("Naila and the Magic Map"), this SUPER WHY! special takes the Super Readers around the world in back-to-back adventures. In the first half, with the help of their teacher, Whyatt and his friends have contacted a girl from another school over the computer and are wondering where she lives. The Super Readers take a trip around the world with a wacky explorer named Wobblebottom, who is on the hunt for his friend Sophie. Will they be able to help Wobblebottom find his friend? In the second half, Pig and his friends are playing when they find what looks like an Egyptian treasure map, but they can't make out the symbols! To search for some answers, the Super Readers soar into the book Naila and the Magic Map and explore the world of ancient Egypt. Will they be able to help Naila unravel the mysterious code that will unlock where the treasure lies?
