Letterland

Letterland is a system for teaching children basic literacy: how to read, write and spell using a synthetic phonics approach. It is set in an imaginary Letterland, populated with pictogram-based characters. These characters are a fusion of letters and animated characters. It was originally developed by Lyn Wendon, and first published in 1985. It is available in English and Spanish.
