Letters and Numbers (Part 1 of 2)


If you've EVER watched Sesame Street, you've probably noticed that letters and numbers are emphasized quite regularly.  In the first half of this blog, we will focus on letters.

Traditionally, an oldschool episode of Sesame Street would feature two specific letters and a number.  "Brought to you by the Letter D, the Letter G, and the Number 1."  Some random combination like that.  No letters or numbers were ever frowned upon.  They were ALL considered good.  You would never catch Cookie Monster saying "Me no like Letter X.  No Cookie start with that."  Even Oscar the Grouch himself would never say "The Letter E is BAD!  Heheheh."

But it was definitely okay to LIKE certain letters.




and beyond that, you could even be OBSESSED with one.

I always had my own favorite letters, for various reasons.  Every kid should.  Every ADULT should.  Every puppet should.






Were certain letters given favoritism?  I would say yes.  More attention given to B than V.  The letter Q was almost ENTIRELY ignored, even though that's the letter that usually needs the MOST attention.

I can't complain though, and rarely do.  The alphabetical order itself was easy to learn, it was always so consistent.
