Tips to help your child learn I words for kids

Here are some tips that will help your child learn I words for kids.

• Phonics: Phonics is an important part of teaching alphabets to kids. Teaching your kids the different sounds of the letters helps them identify the letters by their sound. This improves the child’s reading skills and helps with speech and language development. 

The letter I makes two different sounds. The short sound “ih” and the long sound “I”.

The long sound “I”

The long sound of “I” is pronounced exactly like the letter I (eye). For example: Idea, island, ivy, ice cream, etc.

The short sound “ih”

Here are some examples for the short sound of I, “ih”: is, international, Italy, insect, igloo, etc.

Sometimes, kids can get confused with words that start with E and words that start with I. The short sounds of E and I sound similar and might confuse a child. With a bit of practice, phonics will help children learn I words for kids easily.

Check out these phonics games for kids on Osmo to help your child learn the different sounds of the alphabets.

• Bedtime stories and reading: Reading bedtime stories to children is not just a fun exercise, it also introduces your child to words. Kids learn to speak by imitating sounds that their parents make. When you include bedtime stories, storytelling and other reading activities in your child’s daily routine, you expand their vocabulary. 

Encourage your child to read books and guess words from illustrations in their storybooks. Ask them to identify all the I words they heard in the story. This activity will help enrich their speech and vocabulary. Additionally, it’ll improve their reading skills too.

• Spelling games for kids: Spelling is a critical component of the English language. Spelling is the art of correctly assembling letters to form words. Knowing how to spell words improves your child’s communication skills, reading skills and overall literacy. Additionally, spelling is a critical skill necessary to develop a child’s writing skills. Knowing how to spell also helps children decode unfamiliar words.

Some words that start with the letter I are sometimes long and complicated. When children are equipped with great spelling skills they can identify the links between letters, sounds, words and their meanings. This, in turn, will help them comprehend the complex I words easily.

Before they start learning I words for kids, help your little ones practise identifying, tracing and writing the letter I.

If you want to speak English fluently, learn with your ears, not with your eyes

Here’s the little secret you probably don’t know yet:

Repetition is the secret to English fluency

If you want to quickly achieve fluency level — to speak English easily, fluently and automatically, you’ll need to do one more thing:

Learn deeply through lots of repetition. 

It means that you will need to listen to every example sentence many, many times, until you MASTER it. Don’t listen just one time or a few times. It’s not enough. You will forget it very soon.

You may know how to use a word to make a correct sentence, but here’s the thing: Can you use it quickly, easily, and automatically? 

If the answer is no, you need to repeat more. You must listen to that example sentence again and again.
