The characters will also be featured in suggested activities and lesson plans focused on friendship and empathy, created in consultation with Sesame Workshop&#8217;s education team. This marks the first time that WriteReader is offering third-party content.<\/p>\n<p>Babar Baig, CEO and co-founder of WriteReader, commented: \u201cParents and teachers have long known that children excel when they are interested in the subject matter and are active vs. passive learners. By providing the ability to express themselves with their favorite characters, WriteReader and <em>Sesame Street<\/em> have created a compelling experience to help strengthen their reading and writing through storytelling.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<em>Sesame Street<\/em> and WriteReader are closely aligned in their missions to positively impact early literacy skills, making the company\u2019s unique book-authoring platform a natural fit to feature our beloved characters,\u201d added Jennifer A.
