Short i - 1st Grade Phonics
The letter i stands for the short i sound you hear in
pin.
Short i is a vowel sound that is commonly taught in Grade 1. It is a short and crisp sound pronounced in words like "sit," "lid," and "win." Students learn to distinguish the sound of short i from other vowel sounds and practice reading and writing words that contain this sound. They also learn how to blend short i words together to form sentences and gain fluency in reading. Teachers use various instructional strategies and materials to teach short i, including phonics lessons, word sorts, and decodable texts. By the end of Grade 1, students are expected to have a solid understanding of the short i sound and its corresponding letter(s) in the English language.
