Once upon a time, there was a little letter named “i.” One morning, the alarm clock sang the alphabet song to wake him up. Little “i” stretched and got ready for his last day at alphabet school. He was excited to see his letter friends on the playground!
When little “i” got to the playground, his friends noticed something was missing. Little “g” gasped, little “p” pointed, and little “s” stared. “Little ‘i,’ where is your dot?” they asked. Little “i” looked up, down, left, and right, but his dot was gone!
All the letters gathered around little “i” to help him find a new dot. They had lots of ideas! Little “a” suggested an acorn, little “b” brought a balloon, and little “c” offered a clock. They tried a donut, an egg, and even a flower!
The letters kept coming up with funny ideas. Little “g” giggled with a gumball, little “h” handed over a hula hoop, and little “j” joked about a jumping bean. Little “k” thought a kiwi might work!
Little “i” tried on a marble, a music note, and even a pretzel! Little “q” brought a quarter, and little “r” raced over with a ring. They even tried a spider and a thumbtack!
Little “i” tried a yo-yo and a zero, but nothing felt right. When school ended, little “i” felt sad as he went to find his dad.
Little “i’s” dad, Capital “I,” smiled and said, “You didn’t lose your dot. You left it on your pillow! But since you’re growing up, maybe you don’t need it anymore.” Little “i” stretched his arms and pointed his feet, and his shadow looked just like a big “I”!
Little “i” was so happy! “Look, Daddy, I’m just like you! I can start a sentence now!” he cheered. And from that day on, little “i” was ready to be a big “I.”

[Applause] The little “i” who lost his dot. [Music] The alarm clock rang to the alphabet song. Little “i” sat up, stretched, and rubbed his eyes. Last day of alphabet school. [Music] He saw his letter friends on the playground and hurried to join them. [Music]
Little “g” gasped, little “p” pointed, and little “s” stared. Little “i” they said, “Where is your dot?” Little “i” looked up. [Music] He looked to the left, huh, he looked to the right, but his dot was gone. “What will you do without your dot?” little “a” asked. [Music]
Little “w” whimpered, little “h” handed her a hanky. All of the letters crowded around little “i.” “Don’t worry,” they said, “We’ll help you find a new dot.” Yeah, uh-huh, yeah, uh-huh. The school bell rang; it was time to make words. [Music]
All the little letters scrambled into school, but little “i’s” friends didn’t forget their plan. [Music] When they got to the classroom, the letters looked around. [Music]
“Oh,” little “a” asked, “How about this acorn?” Little “b” burst forward with a balloon. “Oh,” little “c” cried, “Try on this clock.” Little “d” dashed over with a donut. [Music] Little “e” exclaimed, “An egg is exactly what you need.” Little “f” followed with a flower. Little “g” giggled when he found a gumball. Little “h” handed over a hula hoop. Hmmm. Little “j” joked, “How about a jumping bean?” Little “k” knew the answer: a kiwi. [Music]

Little “x’s” extra special idea was an xylophone mallet. [Music] Little “y” yelled, “Wear this yo-yo!” Little “z,” always last, zoomed over with a zero. Little “i” tried them all on, but nothing felt right. [Music]
When school ended, all the little letters went out to where their parents were gathered. [Music] Little “i” saw his father and sniffed back tears. “I lost my dot.” Oh! [Music]
Capital “I” smiled. “No, little ‘i,’ you didn’t lose your dot. You left it on your pillow this morning. I brought it along, but since today is the last day of school and you’ve grown up, I’m not sure you need it anymore. What do you think? Do you really think I’m ready to be a big ‘I’?” [Music]
Capital “I” nodded. “Stretch out your arms and point out your feet.” [Music] Little “i” did, and when he saw his shadow on the ground, he smiled. [Music] “Daddy, look! Just like you! I can start a sentence now!” [Music]
