Program asli
Elayne Reiss-Weimann and Rita Friedman originally created the concept of People's Letter to teach early readers how to "decode" or "exclude" the consonants and vowels that make up the words. They embody the basic rules of phonics into the story of a make-believe character called Letter People. Each letter of the alphabet has different characteristics to help children learn not only the letters but the letters represent the written word. For example, Mr. N has Noisy Nose or Mr. T has Tall Teeth. Reiss and Friedman developed the concept as a teacher in Nanuet, New York. They then sell the idea to a New Dimension in Education, Inc. which, in turn, develops the concept into a class program called Alpha Time and Alpha One. The child-sized puffing characters became known as "The Huggables" (see Life Magazine, May 12, 1972) because they were large enough to be embraced by little children. Finally, Alan J. Pratt, Ph.D., a director and vice president of NDE, Inc. approached KETC-TV, an affiliate of PBS at St. Louis, MO about creating a TV series based on the Adventure Society of Surat. After five pilot programs were produced, Dr. Pratt approached the Council of Big City Schools (the 20 largest school districts of the country). Finally, with the cooperation of Board of Trustees, NDE, Inc. and KETC-TV joint venture begins. The series consists of 60, 15 minute episodes that are becoming very popular with the national children who are learning to read. To ensure phonetic and linguistic accuracy in the television production process, Ruth Lerner of NDE serves as Editorial Editor. Alan Pratt, Ph.D. is a Curriculum Consultant for the TV series. Prior to this, The Letter People educational product was copyrighted in 1968 and published by the New Dimension in Education, Inc. (located in Plainview, New York and then Norwalk, Connecticut.). NDE employs Elizabeth Callen to design a character display in a classroom program. Tom McDonough of KETC-TV is a writer-director of the television series. The Letter People still has thousands of adult fans who remember learning how much fun learning to read with the help of The Letter People.
The basic concept of the program is simple: Each letter in the English alphabet is represented by a unique character with characteristics derived from itself. Consonants are male (as "The Letter Boys"), and vocals are women (such as "the Letter Girls"). Reiss-Weimann, Friedman and Callen also wrote two series of books on characters, Fable from People's Letter and Read-for-Me . Every Letters People also have accompanying songs (available on 8-track cartridge and vinyl record), and vinyl inflatable stupas in two sizes (12-14 inch or 30 inch "life size") known as "Huggables". Other items include movie strips and flash cards. Educators who adopt this program are trained in their implementation, and The Letter People are immediately taken by hundreds of schools across the United States.

The opening and closing sequence
A small dog takes care of its own affairs when various characters carrying a bunch of helium balloons enter the gate of the so-called Letter People Land when the song is played:
Come and meet Mail People
Come and visit family
Words made from People's Letter
A, B, C, D, follow me!
Television series
While thousands of children learn about People's Letters at school, thousands of others are exposed through the television series based on the program. The show was produced by PBET KETC member stations in St. Louis, Missouri, and the show was first produced in 1972. The show was popular among children, and quickly spread to other television stations across the country, via syndication, especially to PBS and educational stations.
The Letter People consists of 60 episodes. In every 15 minute installment, Letter People (a relatively primitive wayang) performs various adventures in Letter People Land, a dark place, with no traits inhabited by strange people and creatures. The episodes usually focus on introducing new Mail People or new voices formed by combining two People's Letter together (such as/CH/or/OU/). Other episodes take Letter People to more exotic (though still non-existent) places like outer space (eventually, the show will include more standard sights, such as city sights, grasslands, opera house Miss O, etc.), while some highlight the characters' Conflict of various voices (such as Mr. C against Mr. K and Mr. S for his voice). Another common feature of this event is "Catching Game", a game event hosted by Monty Swell (character based on Monty Hall) where the People of Letters should form words by positioning themselves right side by side.
The show has been aired almost continuously since 1972.

Revised
In 1990, Abrams & amp; Co Publishers Inc. from Austin, Texas purchased rights to The Letter People from the previous owner, Norwalk, Connecticut-based New Dimensions in Education, Inc. The company provides this program with a large face-lift. , update and revise it. They first change the look of the characters and related material. For example, lowercase letters are added to the back of each People's Letters (previously they have been placed on each character rather randomly). In 1996, the Abrams Company also made major changes to more than half the People's Lettes themselves, most clearly equating the proportion of male and female characters (vowels are now distinguished by their ability to light up through "LetterLights," which appears as a yellow sun in their right shoulders). Men also changed from "Master" to "Master," the women also changed from "Miss" to "Miss", and all references to "junk food" were exchanged for characteristics unrelated to food (Mr. D's "delicious donuts" exchanged with "dazzling dance", for example). In addition, each Letter of the Person who is considered Abrams expressing a negative image is changed to be more positive (Mr. H's horrible hair becomes a happy hair, Mr. R's Ripping Rubberbands into Rainbow Ribbons, while Mr. X is no longer wrong (mix-up) he is different"). The Letter People storybook is rewritten with the aim of teaching conflict resolution and problem-solving skills. But they still have Alphakid A.
The current program is divided into three levels with increased emphasis on phonics: Let's Begin with People Letters for preschools, Land People Letters for kindergarten, and < The Letters of Life for first class. This program is currently being taught to about 30 million children.
Although the program is generally well-received by educators, some have criticized its strong focus on phonics at the expense of other literacy development techniques. Others complain that - when compared to the original People's Letter - New mail People are too politically careful to be fun.
The place where the Letter People lives
In the original 1968 program, the place where the Letter of People lived was originally called "People's Land Letter" in 1974, and later renamed "Land of the Letter People" when the program was revised in 1990. In the newly revised program in 1996 , the place where Letters of People live, "Land of Letters People," remains the same but utilizes newer versions of the characters.
