Why get the bundle
- Short i families repeat naturally, so the bundle adds games and an assessment. Children revisit the endings without losing interest.
The problem
-ig, -in, -ip, -it: four endings, all easy to mix
Short i families look very similar. Fig, fin, fit and fix differ by one letter, and children often just guess.
One letter apart
Dig, din, dip and dit look alike. A child who glances at the first two letters will guess.
Final p, t and n
These end sounds are quick. Children may not hear the difference without careful listening.
Long i trap
Children who know 'eye' may read 'bit' as 'bite'. The short sound is /ih/.
Short i words are grouped by ending, with many repeats. Children see how changing one letter changes the word.

Questions
Before you buy.
Why are short i words so confusing?
They differ by a single letter at the end. Children need to look at the whole word, not just the start.
Do I need to do all four endings?
You can pick the one your child needs. The families are separate, so you can do just -ip or just -it.
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 7 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 $3.50. No form, no questions.
