Loretta the Letter Lady is a series of short inserts that aired on the Nick Jr. block in the mid-1990s. Each episode took place in "Nick Jr's Alphabet Store" (which was situated at the bottom of a grassy hill with no other buildings around) and featured Loretta the Letter Lady showcasing a certain letter in her store, explaining the sound it makes and giving examples of words that begin with the letter in question with accompanying visual aids. On at least one occasion, Loretta also makes up a new word that starts with the letter she's explaining.
The only known footage of this show that exists online was published to YouTube on June 30th, 2014, where she showcases the letter "T" and on January 31st, 2020, showcasing the letter "I". On July 23rd, 2022 YouTuber bchsface2 found and uploaded the segments for "H," "Y" and "W."
