Each vowel can make two different sounds: a short vowel sound and a long vowel sound. Learning the different vowel sounds is a vital skill for children!

Short โ€œiโ€ Sound

The short โ€œiโ€ sound is typically found in words where the letter โ€œiโ€ is in a syllable that ends with a consonant. It sounds as in the word โ€œsit.โ€ Here are a few examples:

  • Sit
  • Pin
  • Fish
  • Milk
  • Mix

Long โ€œiโ€ Sound

The long โ€œiโ€ sound is the same as the name of the letter โ€œi.โ€ It often appears in words where the letter โ€œiโ€ is followed by a silent โ€œeโ€ or in certain vowel combinations like โ€œieโ€ or โ€œigh.โ€ Here are some examples:

  • High
  • Kite
  • Bike
  • Pie
  • Light

These worksheets are a fantastic resource for children because they make learning about the I vowel sounds fun. By identifying long โ€œiโ€ words, kids can improve their phonemic awareness, which is a crucial skill for reading and spelling. Plus, the images are black and white, which kids can color after completing the activity. So, print out these worksheets and letโ€™s start!
