- Hi!

Welcome to Elmo's World!

Oh, guess what Elmo is wondering about today?

Wait for it.

(laughs) Wait for it!

Oh!

All the letters of the alphabet!

From A to Z!

(laughs)

Elmo loves the alphabet

and wants to find out more about it.

Hey, let's ask Elmo's friend, Smartie.

Let's call her together.

Oh, Smartie!

- Hiya, Elmo!

Check this out, it's my favorite, alphabet soup.

- Oh, yeah!

Oh, that's perfect, Smartie

because Elmo wants to learn all about the alphabet today.

- Well, what do we do to learn something new?

- [Both] We look it up!

- Getting the A to Z on the alphabet.

Here we go.

You can find letters of the alphabet all around us.

They're on street signs and even doors and windows.

There are uppercase letters, which are letters that are big,

and there are lowercase letters,

which are letters that are small.

Some letters have straight lines, like the letter T.

Other letters have fun, curvy lines, like the letter S.

When you put letters together, you can sound them out

and make all sorts of wonderful words.

- C-A-T.

- [Smartie] That spells cat!

- Wow!

Elmo loves seeing the letters of the alphabet make words.

- Yeah, it's pretty A-mazing.

Well, I got a word search waiting for me.

I'll Z you later.

- Oh, Z you later!

Thank you, Smartie!

(laughs)

Hey, that gives Elmo an idea.

Let's play a game together.

Yeah!

Come on, come on.

(upbeat music)

Let's see how many letters we can find in this picture.

Are you ready?

Let's play!

Boy, Elmo doesn't see any letters.

- [Boy] There's a B!

- [Elmo] A B?

Where?

- [Girl] The bench!

- [Elmo] Oh, the bench!

Elmo sees it.

B is for bench.

What other letters can we find?

- [Boy] An S.

It's in the sun.

- [Elmo] Oh, there it is!

S is for sun.

Are there any more letters?

- [Girl] Z!

- [Elmo] Z, where's the letter Z?

- [Boy] On the zebra!

- [Elmo] On the zebra.

Oh!

Found you, letter Z.

And Z is for zebra.

We did it!

We found all the letters!

Good job, everybody!

Wow!

The alphabet is everywhere!

Oh, and that makes Elmo wonder even more.

Oh, does Mr. Noodle know the alphabet?

Oh, let's ask him.

Hey, Mr. Noodle!

Oh, it's Mr. Noodle's poodle, Schmoodle.

Hi, Schmoodle.

- [Kids] Schmoodle!

- Schmoodle, do you know the alphabet?

(dog barks)

You do?

Schmoodle, show us the first letter of the alphabet.

- [Kids] Yeah, show us!

(dog barks)

- [Girl] That's not the first letter of the alphabet.

That's a ball!

- [Elmo] Schmoodle, a ball isn't a letter of the alphabet.

A is the first letter of the alphabet.

Can you find the letter A, Schmoodle?

- [Boy] That's not the first letter of the alphabet.

That's a bone.

- [Elmo] Elmo thinks Schmoodle wants to play!

- [Kids] Keep trying, Schmoodle!

- [Elmo] That's it!

The letter of A is the first letter of the alphabet!

- [Kids] You did it, Schmoodle!

- Maybe next time

you can find more letters to make words.

Thank you for helping us learn

about the alphabet, Schmoodle!

Thank you, Schmoodle!
