Short I 2
Tutu will increase your students’ repertoire of short I words with just the wave of her wand. In this cute clip, Tutu shows students how common the short I sound is. Students may also pick up on just how easy it is to completely change the meaning of a word with the simple action of swapping out a single letter. 
In this interesting game, students get a peak into the many different words that contain a short I sound. First graders will find working with Officer Ice Cream, using a camera to snap photos of every word in the scene that contains the short I sound, much more entertaining than the traditional circling of words in list format.

For every word your students choose correctly, she will happily wave her magic wand, rewarding your active learners with a rain cloud turned into a rainbow.
