Short Vowel i
Short
Vowel "i" Lesson Series: In the "Phonics Short Vowel i Lesson Series (6
Lessons)" we will be studying three letter rhyming words, with the
pattern, "Consonant-Vowel-Consonant." These can be classified into
the following word families:
-ib word family
-id word family
-ig word family
-in word family
-ip word family
-it word family
Phonetic Skills (Spatial): Kids sometimes can pronounce the sound of
the individual letters, but usually, have a hard time, in connecting the three
sounds to form a word. Use CVC words with short i such as fig, in, it, dim,
rim, skim, fin, rid, lid, skid, hid, and kit to teach blending of sounds with
help of flashcards. In all the phonics videos, we have included the spatial
movement of letters to form a word. This helps in visual stimulation and proper
understanding of blending of sounds. The lessons also include three letters
blending, as well as sentence writing.
Short Vowels: These are the first set of sounds
introduced to students in phonics classes. These are generally introduced
before the long vowel sounds are taught.
Rule: Usually when a vowel (a,e, i,o, or u)
is present in the beginning (VC words) or between two consonants (CVC words) in
a word that contains only one vowel, this vowel often makes the short vowel
sound. Example: in, it, rid, six, mix, dim, pin, skin, dig, hit, fix, etc.
Exceptions are always there. The above rule is applicable to the three letter
rhyming words formed by the short vowels and represented as word families.
Short Vowel i Pronunciation: This is a more relaxed sound as compared to the short a sound
where you literally are nearing to shouting. The lips are relaxed. To say this
sound keep your jaw and lips in a relaxed position. The central or front of the
tongue may touch the top of the mouth. It is something like a sound you would
hear as /eh/.
