Each season, the producers of Sesame Street<\/a><\/strong><\/em> discuss the educational needs of the show’s audience and often decide on a theme or focus, wrote Peter Johnson in USA Today<\/em><\/strong>.

CNN’s Anderson Cooper<\/strong> is one of several celebrities that will be stopping by the Street this year. In an additional article by Johnson<\/strong> Cooper says that “I have a mild form of dyslexia, and I had a reading problem.<\/p>\n

“So for me, Sesame Street was vital. Beyond what I learned in terms of ABC’s and counting, the sense of how one deals with other people is something that I got early on from Sesame Street.”<\/p>\n
