In 1970, General Learning Corporation released two sets of Sesame Street Phono-Viewer Programs, one for letters and one for numbers. Each program consisted of a record and a film strip, showing either one or several Sesame Street cartoons from the first two seasons, and was intended to be played on a machine similar to the G.E. Show 'n Tell.
The General Learning Corporation specialized in providing curricula and training for teachers to integrate new technologies into classrooms. It is likely that these programs were sold directly to schools and not commercially released.
