Phonics Day 1: Long I

 

Introduction

Hi First graders and welcome to day 1 of our long /i/ lesson. We are beginning to learn about the other sounds that vowels make. They can sound like their name. Just like our last lesson with long /a/ making the /a/ sound. Long /i/ says its name. /i/. When words have an e at the end of the word the vowel in that word will often make a long sound. The long sound of a vowel is when it says its name. The long I simply says i. That’s simple enough, right? Let’s look at a few long vowel words. We will first change a few letters in words to make new words, read long /i /words, and read our decodable story for the day. Let’s set sail with long I!
