About this resource

Description

The long i sound is one of the first long vowels a young reader has to pick out by ear, and this Long Vowel I Worksheet gives first graders two ways to practice it. Words such as tie, lime and slide all say the letter’s own name, while bell, mop and flag do not, and telling those apart by sound is the whole skill on this page.

Part A holds six clear pictures in two rows. A child says each picture name out loud, listens for the long i, and circles the three that have it. Part B moves the same sound into print: a four word box holds mice, night, ride and smile, and three short sentences each need one of them written on a roomy handwriting line. One word in the box fits no sentence at all, so the child has to read rather than guess. Print the page, work through Part A together, then let the student finish Part B on their own and check it against the included answer key.

What’s Included

A one page printable activity with a Name and Date line
Part A: six pictures, three of them carrying the long i sound, to say and circle
Part B: a four word box and three sentences to finish on handwriting lines
A full answer key page showing the circled pictures and the written words
A print ready PDF in the Have Fun Teaching worksheet template

Three Reasons This Helps Kids

It works from sound first, so a reader who cannot yet spell the word can still hear the vowel and answer correctly
It pairs listening with writing, which is how a first grader moves a sound from the ear onto the page
The spare word in the box rewards careful reading and makes guessing a losing strategy

Ideas for Teachers and Parents

Use this 1st grade phonics worksheet as a warm up at the start of a long vowel unit
Ask students to name three more long i words before they start Part B
Say each picture name slowly and stretch the vowel so the class can hear it
Pair the Long Vowel I Worksheet with a short vowel page and sort the two sets together
