Electric Company is my new sneaky way to integrate more literacy education into my Kindergartener’s day. This classic companion to Sesame Street introduces beginning readers to new reading skills while also entertaining viewers with funny characters, catchy songs, and cool graphics.
Case in point:
Recently I’ve been talking to my son about “the silent e" at the end of a word that makes the other vowel in the word say its name. For example: ride, base, bone, mute. As he and I read along in a book, we often come to a word following this rule and I will remind him. But since watching Electric Company he calls this English spelling rule the “ninja e”.

Thank you Electric Company: you are so much cooler
and so much more memorable than boring old Mom.
