Early Literacy
Your child is learning about letter sounds as he watches this show. David and Shane repeat Clarabell's full name throughout the episode, thus highlighting the "C" sound again and again. You can enhance your child's understanding of letter sounds by repeating this language play at home. See how many words you and your child can think of that begin with "C." Make up colorful and crazy "C" words together.
Wordplay such as this boosts your child's understanding of alliteration, an important early literacy skill.
