Hello to my teaching friends,
This is the third volume of the Tisha Readers that you were waiting for.
Of course, after the practice of the short A and short E , this reader is all about the short I sound.
We’ll also add a few sight words and review the previous ones.
If you missed the first 2 volumes you can find them here:
Tisha short A
Tisha sort E
A few preparatory games :
My little girl already read this “Tisha and the short I” sound a while ago , but this morning we decided to review it and do some games connected with it.
She was happy to pull her “Iguana reading friend” from the cupboard and “feed him” .
Careful! he only eats toys in which you can hear the sort I sound!

Toys to sort out and give to the iguana

Igor the Iguana was hungry , this is all what he ate!
My little girl already played this game quite a few times and so I included some words with long I sound and long E sounds , those can be a bit confusing at first so I suggest that to begin with , the toys would only contain sound already learned like sort A, shot E and short I .
You can continue the game by feeding the iguana toy letters , or Cvc flash cards.
Flash cards and activity pages
This time again you can print the flash cards for the sight words , and the letters cards to build CVC words with short I

Sight words

Then she decided to be silly

” I did it”
In addition I made some activity pages that you can download and print. My 4 year old liked them as they are clear and colorful, plus she got to cut and glue and she enjoys that a lot.
Ok that’s all for now…
See you next week for the next adventure with Tisha!
