Who's Who in Letterland?

Letterland uses characters (pictograms) to help children learn how to read, write and spell in English. This page lists many of the Letterland characters and examples of their multi-sensory stories, actions and songs. Select the characters to hear the sound they make in words and watch the videos to find out how Letterland can help unlock the keys to literacy.
