"Reading Buddies: What's the /T/ea? (Season 1; Episode 2)" is an early literacy lesson focused on the letter T and the /t/ sound. Through playful reading games, Dott, Dusty, and Alphabott practice phonological awareness, including identifying sounds, counting syllables, hearing rhymes, segmenting compound words, and locating the /t/ sound in words such as turtle, table, train, and tooth. The episode also introduces letter formation with vertical and horizontal lines, basic vocabulary development, memory practice, and simple word-building. These foundational reading skills align with Common Core and state standards for phonics, phonemic awareness, vocabulary, and speaking and listening, making the video useful for school-based instruction in beginning reading. Part of the "Reading Buddies" series.
