The
Letter TV showcases the sound(s) associated with each letter. Cross-curricular
content is carefully woven into each program as well. The programs
are short segments because research shows that four and five-year-olds
can become quite passive while viewing television for longer periods.
Teachers are encouraged to use the programs as an integral part
of a comprehensive introduction to reading skills.
