What are the important attributes of watching Sesame Street Program?


The first years of life are especially important in the growth and development of child's brain. Children of all ages are constantly learning new things which television could be one of the most prevalent means to influence their learning.

Sesame Street has been the most popular television show for the last four decades to the extent that this children’s show is translated to more then 19 different languages around the world. The main purpose behind this program is to aid weak young students with their readings abilities to catch up and be equally in the same level with their peers. Different characters such as Big Bird and Cookie Monster are playing important roles to attract youngster in providing humor and pleasant appearance. These features present some letters and relate them to specific words to remind the viewers about the worthiness of reading. Also, I believe that Sesame Street helps diverse children to improve their social skills and upgrade their math, English and science evaluations. Thus, the directors of sesame Street have a main role of increasing the educational level among children.

 Essentially, some regular shows of this program are presented with some songs such as “Hey Food” that sound similar to the famous Beatles’s song “Hey Jude”. This strategy makes the program always appear fresh, so the audiences feel updated through the diversity of the show. Another advantage about this television program is that there is no mention of local cultures activities which has made the program more attractive to be adapted by different families from dissimilar backgrounds.

In short, Sesame Street is an educational television program for preschool children, particularly aimed at disadvantaged children to teach them the awareness of letters and numbers.
