Sesame Street Start-to-Read Video is a video series published by Random House Home Video. The series featured stills from various Sesame Street storybooks, all narrated by Big Bird.

Caroll Spinney performs not just Big Bird, but also all of the other Sesame Street character voices in these videos. (It is implied that Big Bird is imitating his friends' voices as he is reading the stories, as Caroll Spinney's Oscar the Grouch voice sounds a bit different in these videos.) The videos opened with Big Bird singing a theme song for the series.

International releases

In 1994, The Video Collection (now 2 Entertain) released the Sesame Street Start-to-Read Video series in the United Kingdom.
