The Letter People - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The popular phonics teaching tool from the '70s and '80s featured Mr. M with the munching mouth, Mr. T with the tall teeth, Mr. H with the horrible hair.... Each letter had its own song and a kid-sized inflatable figure. The vowels were Misses and the consonants were Misters until a politically correct makeover in the 1990s. (Mrs. Sandy Bates, Catoosa Elementary kindergarten teacher from 1970 to 1998, used the Letter People to teach phonics.)
