New York, NY, -- Sesame Street announced today its new Elmo Loves ABC’s App created exclusively for iPad. Now available on the App Store, users can explore the alphabet with Sesame Street’s resident red furry monster in an immersive, child-directed experience.

“The Elmo Loves ABC’s App is designed to foster early literacy skills such as upper and lowercase letter recognition, letter sound and vocabulary. It also empowers children to explore the alphabet through a variety of videos and activities including coloring and letter tracing,” said Rosemarie Truglio, Vice President of Research and Education, Sesame Workshop.

The Elmo Loves ABC’s App is available for $4.99 from the App Store on iPad or at www.iTunes.com/AppStore.
