Hello, friends! Today, we’re going to learn all about the letter “I.” Isn’t that exciting? The letter “I” is a special letter because it’s one of the vowels. Let’s find out more about it!
The letter “I” can make two different sounds. Let’s try them together! Can you say the first sound? Great job! Now, let’s try the second sound. Awesome! You’re doing so well!
Writing the letter “I” is easy and fun! Let’s start with the big letter “I,” called the capital letter. We make a long line down and add a short line at the top and bottom. It looks like a set of weights! Isn’t that cool?
Now, let’s write the small letter “i,” called the lowercase letter. Draw a short line down and curve it up a little at the end. Don’t forget the dot on top! It looks like a tiny shrimp. Try writing it at home with a pen and paper!
Let’s look at some words that start with “I.” Can you think of any? How about “igloo”? Brrr, it’s cold inside! There’s also “iguana.” What does it start with? Yes, “I”! Other words like “incredible” and “ink” also start with “I.” You’re doing great!
Now, let’s try some tricky words. These words might sound a little different. Are you ready? Say “island,” “iron,” and “ice cream.” Yum, ice cream is so tasty!
Let’s count how many “I’s” are in the word “Indian.” Can you find them? There’s one and two! Well done!
Now that we’ve learned about the letter “I,” let’s sing a fun song! Remember, learning letters is like going on an adventure. There are so many more letters to discover!
Thanks for learning with us today. Keep exploring and having fun with letters. See you next time!
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 “ink pen” or an “ice cube”? Make a list of all the items you find and share them with your friends or family!
Sound Matching Game: Create a set of cards with pictures of objects that start with the letter “I” and some that don’t. Mix them up and see if you can match the pictures with the correct “I” sound. For example, match a picture of an “iguana” with the “I” sound. This will help you practice identifying the letter “I” in different words.
Letter “I” Art: Use craft materials like paper, crayons, and stickers to create a big letter “I” collage. Decorate it with pictures or drawings of things that start with “I,” like “ice cream” or “igloo.” Hang your artwork in your room or classroom to remind you of the fun you had learning about the letter “I”!

Hi friends! Today, it’s time to show you the letter “I.” Hi, I’m I, the third vowel. I’m pretty sure you’ve seen me around a few times. Have you heard my sound? I’m guessing you have!
I have two ways you can pronounce me. Let’s try this first. I’m sure you can guess. I can’t hear you. Nice! Good! Now let’s try the second way. I can’t hear you. Yes, good!
I’m lucky my letter is easy to write. Let’s try the capital letter. We just need to make a long line and a short one here and here. There you go! Look, it’s like a set of weights. Cool, right?
You can also write me in lowercase. It’s really easy! We draw a short line downwards and at the end, we curve it up to the right. Don’t forget the dot! Well done! Look, now it looks like a shrimp. Try it at home with pen and paper; it’s super easy!
Let’s have a look at words I’m in. “Igloo” starts with “I.” Yikes, it’s cold! What about “iguana”? What does it start with? “Incredible” and “ink” also start with “I.” Yes, good!
Okay, now a little harder. These words are a little bit difficult because they sound different. You ready? “Island,” “iron,” “ice cream.”
Okay, last question: how many “I’s” are in the word “Indian”? Let me help you: one and two. Well done! Bye, Iggy! See you later!
Okay, that’s enough work for today. Singing time! Remember…
