I just started teaching kindergarten last year. As I was
cleaning out my new classroom before school started, I found
boxes of Letter People and materials (teacher's guide, video
tapes and books for each letter). The teacher's guide I found
is dated 1974. In this guide and on the videos the letters are
introduced in this order: M, T, F, H, N, B, A, Z, P, S, E, I,
O, U, V, L, D, G, C, K, W, Y, J, R, X, and Q.
The video tapes were very old and didn't work very well. My
teaching assistant found the original Letter People programs
and two different color sheets of each letter on DVD on ebay.
