I Sounds Phonics
The short i sound is very common in words such as “it” and “in.”
There are a lot of short vowel sounds in English. They are often overlooked but they can be very difficult for children to learn.
The following words all have the short I sound:
I, it, is, in, am, if
When teaching vowel sounds, it is important to teach the short vowel sound as well. This way, students will be able to read words like “sit” and “bit”.
The letter i is often used in words that have a short vowel sound.
It can also be used in words that have a long vowel sound. For example, the word “pie” has a long vowel sound but the letter i appears at the end of it.
It’s important we don’t confuse learners with the long vowel sounds.
I love using games and hands-on printables to teach the vowel sounds!

Short i Vowel Words
I especially love printable hands-on worksheets like this one below.
Learners will need to read the target word ‘in’, trace the word, write the word independently.
Then, they will read the word in context and cut and paste the letters to build the word.
These kinds of multi-sensory activities not only build phonetic skills, but they also work on learners’ memory skills.
