Teaching Short I
What it is
Short i is the /i/ sound heard in sit, pig, and fish.
When a child is ready
Introduce it after short a, once the child blends three-sound words steadily.
If they struggle
If short i and short e blur together, practice minimal pairs (pin/pen, bit/bet, tin/ten) and have the child say the word while pointing to the vowel. Keep sessions short and daily rather than long and occasional.
