In today’s lesson, we explored the letter “I,” a special vowel that can make two different sounds. We practiced writing both the capital “I” and the lowercase “i,” and identified words that start with “I,” such as “igloo” and “ink.” To wrap up, we engaged in a counting game and sang a fun song to reinforce our learning about this important letter.

Let’s Learn About the Letter “I”!

Hi friends! Today, we’re going to have fun with the letter “I.” I’m “I,” and I’m a special letter called a vowel. You might have seen me before. Do you know what sound I make? Let’s find out together!

How Does “I” Sound?

The letter “I” can make two different sounds. Let’s try the first one. Can you say it with me? Great job! Now, let’s try the second sound. You did it! Awesome!

Writing the Letter “I”

Writing the letter “I” is easy and fun! Let’s start with the big “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 “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. You can try it at home with a pen and paper. It’s super easy!

Words That Start with “I”

Let’s think of some words that start with “I.” How about “igloo”? Brrr, it’s cold in there! And what about “iguana”? Yes, it starts with “I” too. Incredible!

Here’s another one: “ink.” Can you think of more words? You’re doing great!

Tricky Words with “I”

Some words with “I” can be a little tricky because they sound different. Let’s try these: “I learned,” “iron,” and “ice cream.” Yum, ice cream is delicious!

Counting “I’s” in a Word

Let’s play a counting game. How many “I’s” are in the word “Indian”? Let’s count together: one and two. Well done!

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.

[Music]

I have two ways you can pronounce me. Let’s try this first. I’m sure you can guess.

[Music]

I can’t hear you. Nice! Good! Now let’s try the second way. I… 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 at home with pen and paper; it’s super easy!

Let’s have a look at words I’m in. “Igloo” starts with “I.”

Eek! It’s cold! What about “iguana”? What does it start with? “I.” Incredible!

[Music]

“Ink” also starts with “I.” Yes, good!

Okay, now a little harder. These words are a bit difficult because they sound different. You ready?

[Applause]

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…
