I is a vowel with two main sounds. The short I is in insect, igloo and in. The long I says its own name, as in ice, ivy and iron. Igloos are white or pale blue, ice cream can be any flavor color, and insects come in every color from green to bright red. In winter, igloo and ice words fit well with snowy lessons.
Lowercase i has a dot on top. Let kids add the dot with a fingertip dipped in washable paint or a round sticker. It makes the finishing touch more fun and helps them remember the dot when writing.
