Letter I is typically taught early in the phonics sequence, usually after A and separate from E, as the short I and short e sounds are difficult to distinguish. Letter formation with uppercase and lowercase versions of I is relatively straightforward; kids can begin learning it as soon as they can draw short straight lines. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, kids still need to practice recognizing and writing the letter so that they’re ready to read.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
