What do a dog, a girl, and a robot have in common? First and foremost, Dusty, Dott, and Alphabott are best friends. But they are also reading buddies! Dusty loves to talk, but learning to read is a new skill. With the help of Dott and Alphabott, he discovers that it can be so much fun! Along the way, the friends practice letters, sounds, and reading words, get letters from their globetrotting friend Otto, practice social skills, and so much more. We hope you'll become a Reading Buddy!

Episode 2 what’s the /t/ea? Dusty, Dott, and Alphabott team up to explore the letter t – how it is written, the sound it represents, words that use the letter t. Dusty and Dott talk about the words we use to identify ourselves and get their bodies moving by tapping and twisting.
