The Super Readers and the Eto Rangers are sworn enemies.
- The Super Readers go into stories and add their own text, which changes the story's events. The Eto Rangers' jobs are to go into stories and iron out any changes caused by outside forces. So, whenever the Readers rewrite something to solve a problem, the Rangers have to go clean up after them.
The Super Readers are something equivalent to narrators, editor avatars, or author avatars in training.
- Storybrook Village is something of a 'narrator box' where they all live between correcting prompts (with a mild entente of not abusing powers).
- Their powers consist of editing the underlying text of their reality (as would be expected of someone whose job is to read and change the script). Since they're children and still fairly inexperienced they tend to do things more at the spelling, word choice, and sentence levels for small issues in relatively simple environments like the 2D-animation storybooks rather than grandiose independent worldbuilding or more intense corrections than can be crammed into a TV episode.
- The highly formulaic nature of the show might be because the actual job of narrating/editing is actually fairly formulaic at their basic level and they need the pure practice: they have to read the script and see where and how to make changes, and all the more complex stuff will occur later on in their training. Early on they do make mistakes in what their editing is supposed to actually accomplish, and rely on mnemonics and assistance from the viewer. There's little if any mention of spelling errors as the Super Readers are still building up their vocabulary and skills and it's easier to start with more clear cut narrative nonsense problems or actual plot-related troubles than typos, and as a matter of effectiveness and beginning writing style at their age they're going to stick with words they know how to use if they think it'll work.
- Woofster is included into their training as a general dictionary-based assistant as the Super Readers prepare to encounter more complex problems that their primary powers need more vocabulary to deal with appropriately, and may lead them to improve as writers/editors/narrators such as thesaurus powers or spellchecking.

Power Paige is the secret Big Bad of Super Why's Comic Book Adventures
She was a Loony Fan of the Super Readers who wanted to join them, but wasn't allowed to because of her entitled nature. One day, she found the Power Pencil, which she used to murder the easiest target, Pig, and erase him from the Super Readers' memories (she also got rid of Woofster, for that matter). With the bacon out of the picture, Paige finally joined the Super Readers, but by the end of the miniseries, she will be exposed for what she did.- Jossed. Paige is firmly on the side of good, and Pig is never mentioned.
Why Pig is not in Comic Book Adventures
Alpha Pig is mainly focused on teaching the alphabet. Comic Book Adventures seems to be aimed at a slightly older audience than the original TV series, as it has snappier pacing and more "action-y" scenes. It also teaches more advanced literacy concepts such as spacing, syllables, and punctuation, with the assumption that the audience already knows the alphabet. So, Pig was deleted because he would be redundant.Another reason is that the show wants to distance itself from fairytales. CBA takes place in Reader Valley as opposed to Storybrook Village, and none of the other fairytale characters, like Wolfy or Little Boy Blue, are ever seen. The reasoning for this is likely because the show received a lot of criticism for bowdlerizing fairytales, so they decided to drop the fairytale motif. While Super Why, Princess Presto, and Wonder Red are relatively removed from their source materials, it'd be pretty hard to separate Pig from The Three Little Pigs.
