Hi there! Today, we’re going to learn about the letter I. It’s a special letter in the alphabet that you see all the time.
Let’s start with the lowercase I. It looks like a little stick with a dot on top. Isn’t it cute?
The letter I makes a sound like /i/. Can you say it? It’s the same sound you hear at the beginning of the word “igloo.”

Imagine you’re inside an igloo. It’s cozy and warm, just like learning about the letter I can be!
Remember, the letter I is important and fun to learn. Keep practicing the /i/ sound, and you’ll be an expert in no time!
Letter I Hunt: Go on a scavenger hunt around your home or classroom to find objects that start with the letter I. Can you find an igloo toy, an insect, or even a picture of an ice cream? Make a list or draw pictures of the items you find. This will help you recognize the letter I in everyday objects!
Sound Match Game: Gather a few items or pictures of things that start with different letters. Mix them up and try to sort them into two groups: those that start with the /i/ sound and those that don’t. For example, you might have a picture of an igloo and a cat. Which one starts with the /i/ sound?
Craft Your Own I: Use craft materials like sticks, paper, and markers to create your own lowercase letter I. You can use a small stick for the body and a pom-pom or sticker for the dot. Display your creation somewhere special to remind you of the letter I and its sound!
