Sesame Street Letters CD-ROM (ages 3-6)

Sesame Street Letters is an educational CD-ROM which lays the foundation for prereading skills for children ages two to six. Oscar the Grouch and Telly are your hosts and introduce you to letters and phonics while also telling stories, singing and exploring the Sesame Street neighborhood.

The Trash Game emphasizes letter, object and sound identification skills and takes place on Sesame Street by Oscar's Trash Can with Oscar and Telly. After emptying a trash bag filled with items and letters, you must match the objects with the appropriate starting letter before throwing them away. In The ShapeOMatic Game you will visit Bert and Ernie's Apartment where you'll learn to differentiate and become familiar with shapes. "What's My Rhyme" takes place at Big Bird's Nest and reinforces listening skills by having you compare words based on their sounds. Big Bird will say an incomplete rhyme and will ask you to find the missing word to finish. You will also go to Snuffy's Cave to play Snuffy Says, his version of I Spy. Snuffalupagus will say a sound and you must find an object in his cave that starts with the same sound. This game teaches phonetics and prereading and spelling skills. Tara Hernandez, All Game Guide
