Letter I — Ice Cream.
The letter I melts in with an ice cream cone. I is the only letter that introduces itself by name here — ice starts with ie, just like the letter’s own name.
Trace I i, circle the ice cream.
This is I’s own card from the class. Pick a crayon, then trace the big letter and the little letter right on the card with your finger, a stylus or the mouse — and circle ice cream. Press Save my work when you are proud: your drawing stays here for next time.
What does I say?
“i — ie, ice cream starts with I’s name sound”
Ice cream starts with I’s name sound: ie. The little i also has a short ih sound, as in insect — for now, meet the long ie of ice, the one your child already says when they shout ice cream!
The little i also says its short ih sound, as in insect. Ice cream meets the long ie first — the one children already know.
