Why get the bundle
- Short i is repeated across formats in the bundle, and an assessment shows if i and e are still blurring in your child's reading.
The problem
Big, bin, bit: short i and e swap places
Short i is easy to confuse with short e, and children also mix it with the long i they hear in 'bike'.
I or e?
Children may read 'big' as 'beg'. Both are quick sounds in the front of the mouth.
Long vs. short i
Children who know 'eye' as the letter name may read 'bit' as 'bite'. The short sound is /ih/.
Look-alike endings
In -ig, -in and -it, the end consonants differ by small mouth shapes. Words like bin and bit get swapped.
Only short i words are used, like big, bin and bit. Children hear one vowel many times, so it sits firmly before they meet it with others.

Questions
Before you buy.
Why does my child read 'bit' as 'bite'?
They're using the letter name instead of the short sound. Remind them that a single vowel between consonants usually says its short sound.
Do I need to teach silent e first?
No. Short i comes first. Silent e words like bite come later, so this page stays with the short sound.
How do I get the file?
The download link appears right after checkout and lands in your inbox at the same time. One PDF with 5 pages. No account needed.
Can I print it more than once?
Yes. One teacher or one household can print unlimited copies for their own students, this year and next.
Will it print in color?
The pages are designed to print in black and white, so they print clean on any home or school printer and do not eat a cartridge.
What if it isn’t right for us?
Email support@pencillane.com within 30 days and we refund the full $3. No form, no questions.
