Let’s have some fun learning the ‘i’ sound together! We can make this sound with our voices. Are you ready? Let’s go!
First, let’s say the ‘i’ sound like this: i i i i i i. Can you do it? Great job!
Now, let’s try saying some words that start with the ‘i’ sound. Our first word is “igloo.” An igloo is a house made of snow and ice. Let’s say it together: igloo igloo igloo. Good work!
Next, let’s say “insect.” An insect is a tiny bug, like a ladybug or a butterfly. Let’s say it together: insect insect insect. You’re doing amazing!
Let’s practice the ‘i’ sound some more. Say it with me: i i i i i i. Now, let’s say “igloo” again: i i igloo. And “insect”: i i insect. You’re getting better and better!
Keep practicing the ‘i’ sound and these fun words. You’ll be a pro in no time!
Sound Hunt: Go on a sound hunt around your home or classroom! Look for objects that have the ‘i’ sound in their names. Can you find an item that starts with the ‘i’ sound, like “ink” or “iron”? Share what you find with your friends or family and practice saying the words together.
Draw and Describe: Draw a picture of something that has the ‘i’ sound in its name, like an igloo or an insect. Once you’ve finished your drawing, describe it to a friend or family member using the ‘i’ sound. For example, “This is an igloo. It is made of ice.”
Story Time: Create a short story using as many ‘i’ sound words as you can. You can start with something like, “In an igloo, there was an insect…” Share your story with the class or your family. How many ‘i’ sound words did you use?
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:
“Let’s listen and repeat the ‘i’ sound:
i i i i i i
igloo igloo igloo
i i igloo
i i igloo
i i igloo
i i i i i i
insect insect insect
i i insect
i i insect
i i insect
i i i i i i i i i i”
