Instructional Ideas

• As an extension activity, have youngsters design their own version of this worksheet by including several images of other words using long and short i sounds. Then, students can switch their worksheets with each other and practice more identification and pronunciation

Classroom Considerations

• Explain to your students which i sound each picture represents, as this may be a bit unclear at first given the picture chosen for the long i sound

Pros

• Well-designed worksheet that incorporates variety of skills
• Includes penmanship lines for students to write answers
• Cutouts provided in a Word document, which can be edited (see additional materials)

Cons

• None
