The Letter I - Join puppet Maria as she plays with her ball and shares the story of the letter "i". Copy two preschool students as they demonstrate two sounds for the letter "i" - the short and the long sounds. Children are exposed to the concept that a letter can record more than one sound in order to reduce future confusion when they see the letter "i" pronounced in two different ways in the sentence, I sit.
