If you are working with your child or your child’s teacher to help them learn the letter i sound in phonics, you may be wondering what a good way to teach them might be. There are a lot of different techniques available. When paired with the one that works best for your child, along with materials such as phonics i songs, i worksheets, and i books, you can easily teach your children all about the phonics i sound.

The i sound is broken up into a short i sound and a long i sound. At first, it is best to teach your child the short phonics i sound before moving on, so that he or she does not get confused.

What is the Phonics i Sound?


The phonics i sound is broken up into two parts. First is the short i sound, which makes a verbal sound like “ih” when spoken. The long i sound, however, sounds exactly like the letter: it is pronounced “eye.”

So what is the short i sound? When teaching your child to make the short i sound in phonics, help them properly position their tongue to make the sound. The tip of your tongue should be just barely touching the bottom teeth, and while making the “ih” sound, the middle of your tongue should arch up just barely. The short i sound is found in words such as “it,” “in,” and “if,” which are all very common words to teach young children.

How to Teach Kids the Phonics i Sound


Learning phonics before learning to read is vital to becoming a great reader. Not only will it make reading stories and books easier, since children will gradually learn new words once they already know the sounds, but they will also have the ability to sound out new words that they might not know. This can easily be done when a child has the mastery of phonics and knows which sounds the letters make.

The phonics i sounds (both short and long)  are used in a lot of words that children use on a daily basis. Sight words, such as “if,” “it,” and “in” all make use of the phonics i sound on a regular basis. This sound is incredibly popular, especially among children, so it is vital that they learn to make the sound and properly associate it with words.


The i sound in phonics isn’t one of the more difficult sounds – in fact, it’s relatively easy for small children to remember. It does get a little confusing when you introduce the long i sound on top of the short i sound, so making sure that the child already knows the short i sound first is important.

Since this phonetic sound is important when children are first learning how to read, and since it really isn’t that difficult to master, spending a lot of time on this one and making sure that children understand is a great idea.

How Can Kids Learn the Phonics i Sound in a Fun Way?


Learning the phonics i sound doesn’t have to be all challenging – it can be fun, too! In fact, many parents find that their children learn best through play – making it ideal to use fun activities to make learning the letter i sound easier and more exciting for your child!

One exciting way to teach your child the phonics i sound in a fun way is to make flashcards with him or her. Walk around your neighborhood and take pictures of things that have the i sound, and glue them to cards. Ask your child what the word on the card is, and you will have your own homemade flash cards for your child to use to learn the phonics i sound.

Another great way to help your child learn the phonics letter i sound is to watch i videos together. Videos such as this one, found on the Red Cat Reading website, can give children a basic understanding of the i sound. This is also a great idea if you are looking for a video to prompt further discussion on the sound.

Finally, i books, such as those that can be found on Red Cat Reading, are always a fantastic way to teach your children new words while giving them the ability to learn to sound out words they may not know, as well. Actually seeing making up a word, especially those that focus on the i sound, is a great way to show children how to start reading!

When it comes to Red Cat Reading, you get a whole package to help your child learn to use the correct phonics and begin learning to read.
