Before 'Hamilton', Lin-Manuel Miranda Taught Our Kids Letter Sounds

I’ll admit that I know next to nothing about the Broadway hit that is “Hamilton”. I know everyone is excited about it and in love with star Lin-Manuel Miranda. I had intended to start with Miranda’s appearance on Sesame Street on another list. Instead, I realized I had been watching Miranda perform on a constant loop in 2010 when he was on PBS and The Electric Company.

I’m not saying I’m cool because I knew him before his huge success. I’m just saying I can probably read a lot better than you because of his letter sound lessons.
