Instructional Ideas
- Have learners circle each instance of the short /i/ sound
- Read the poem out loud and repeat the words that include the short /i/ sound to reinforce the concept
- Ask individuals to highlight or underline the sections of the poem that showed them the answers to the reading questions
Classroom Considerations
- The poem does include words that have the letter i in them, but not the short /i/ sound; kids will need to take care when identifying the short /i/ sounds
Pros
- Handwriting lines are provided to assist learners just starting out with writing
- In the poem, you'll find many short /i/ words for kids to practice with
Cons
- Answers are not included, but should be easy to figure out
