About this coloring page
I is a vowel with a short sound and a long sound. The short sound starts igloo, insect, ink and itch. The long sound is the letter's own name, heard in ice, island and iron. On its own, capital I is also a word, the one we use to talk about ourselves. This letter I coloring page has a big Ii, the words I is for Igloo, and rows of I and i to trace. An igloo is a rounded shelter built from blocks of packed snow.
Capital I in print is a straight line down. Many fonts and some classrooms add a short flat line at the top and the bottom, so ask what the teacher uses. Lowercase i is a short line that sits on the writing line, with a dot above it. Children love the dot, so remind them to finish the line first and then add the dot last, not too high and not too far to the side.
