    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.
