ClassX Video Lessons Grade Kindergarten The Letter I | Alphabet A-Z Alphabet Song | Let’s Learn From A-Z
Let’s go on a fun adventure to learn the alphabet! The alphabet helps us write and read. We will learn all the letters from A to Z!
Today, we are meeting the letter I. The letter I is a special letter called a vowel. Vowels help us make lots of different sounds!
Let’s learn how to write the letter I. First, we have the big letter I, called uppercase I. Watch me write it in the air! Start at the top, draw a straight line down to the bottom, then a line across the top, and another line across the bottom. Great job!
Now, let’s try the small letter i, called lowercase i. Start in the middle, draw a line straight down and stop, then go back to the middle and make a dot on top. You did it!
The letter I makes two sounds. Let’s listen to them!
The short i sound is /ĭ/. Can you say /ĭ/? Good! Listen for the short i sound at the beginning of these words: igloo, insect, iguana, itch. Now, listen for the short i sound in the middle of these words: fin, lips, swim, six.
The long i sound is /ī/. Can you say /ī/? Awesome! Listen for the long i sound at the beginning of these words: iron, ice, ivy, island. Now, listen for the long i sound in the middle of these words: bike, five, night, kite.
The alphabet is our friend and helps us write and read. Let’s keep learning all the letters from A to Z. Have fun on your alphabet adventure!
Letter I Hunt: Go on a letter I hunt around your home or classroom! Look for objects that start with the letter I or have the letter I in their name. Can you find an ice cube, an iron, or a picture of an iguana? Draw or take pictures of the items you find and share them with your friends or family.
Sound Sorting Game: Create two boxes or baskets labeled “Short I” and “Long I.” Gather small objects or pictures that have the short i sound (like a pin or a picture of a fish) and the long i sound (like a toy bike or a picture of a kite). Sort the objects into the correct boxes based on their sounds. This will help you practice listening for the different sounds the letter I makes!
Make Your Own I Book: Create a small book with pages for each sound of the letter I. On one page, draw or paste pictures of things with the short i sound, like an igloo or a fin. On another page, draw or paste pictures of things with the long i sound, like ice or a kite. Share your book with your family and tell them about the different sounds the letter I makes!
