The 'i' family

Following our regular study pattern, we shall learn the words of the 'i' family.

Write down 'ib' in colored ink, on a flash card. Then, write down individual consonants as b, f, n, and r on separate flash cards. After doing so, place the 'b' flash card in front of the 'ib' card and read aloud the word, 'bib'.

b + ib = bib

Now, replace the 'b' flash card with the 'f' flash card to make the word 'fib'. Say it aloud several times, till your child is able to blend 'f' and 'ib' sounds to make word 'fib'.

f + ib = fib

By the end of this excercise, your child should be able to read these words with ease:-

Bib
Rib
Nib
Fib

Did
Kid
Hid
Lid

Big
Rig
Dig
Fig
Wig
Jig

Dim
Him

Bin
Tin
Pin
Win
Sin

Hip
Lip
Nip
Zip

Bit
Fit
Hit
Kit
Pit
Sit

Fix
Mix
Six

The 'i' sound:



Story of the day:

Zig, the pig.

This is Zig.
Zig is a big pig.
Zig can dig.
Zig digs a big pit.
He sits in the pit.
He does not fit in the pit.
Then, Zig gets a bin.
He sits in the bin.
But he does not fit in the bin.
Then he digs a big pit.
Now, he fits in the pit.

Take care.
