Meet the Letter People
The Letter People are designed by Abrams and Company Publishers of Waterbury, Connecticut
West Central Kindergarteners learn to recognize their letters and sounds through the use
of the "Letter People" curriculum.
There are 26 letter people, 13 males and 13 females. The five vowels are referred to as
"Letter Lights." The "Letter Lights" are memorable to students because they have a
sunshine on their shoulder. When a "Letter Light" is introduced, students know that the
letter will make two sounds (long vowel and short vowel).

Each letter person has a catchy tune that students learn during the week. Each letter
person also has a distinct personality, which helps students remember the phonics rules of
the letter.
The letter person speaks directly to the teacher, and the teacher must translate for the
students. For example, "Miss A," might need some help finding out how to tell her teacher
she doesn't feel well. "Miss A" might whisper to the teacher, and the teacher can ask the
class to help her.
The letter people become part of the class to the kindergarteners, and kindergarteners
love their letter people friends!
