Ways to use these pages

1

Hear two I sounds

Say ink and insect, then ice and island. Ask which pair begins with the same sound.

2

Make a warm-cool pair

Color the ice skate with cool shades and the island with warm shades; compare the two scenes.

3

Create an invitation

Color the printed invitation, then write a real or pretend message on the back.

Warm, cold and in between

Letter I coloring pages have an unusual mix of places and objects. Ice and an ice skate suggest a cold day, while an island and iguana can lead to a warmer imagined trip. Ice cream belongs wherever the child wants it. Insect, ivy, ink, invitation and instrument give plenty of everyday words to hear and color. Ask a child to divide the pictures into things they might find outdoors and things they might keep indoors. There is room for disagreement, which makes the conversation more interesting.

Let the first sound guide the game

Say insect and ink slowly; both begin with a short I sound. Island and ice begin differently. Pointing to the picture as you say each word helps children hear that one letter can sound more than one way. The invitation can become a real note: write an invitation to a pretend picnic on the back after coloring it. On the ivy page, color leaves in a two-color pattern or try shades seen outside. A child who loves music can choose the instrument and imagine what song it plays.

Color one contrast at a time

Try cool colors on the ice skate and warmer colors on the island, then ask how the two pictures feel different. There is no need to color every page or keep the objects realistic. The point is to notice shapes, sounds and choices while enjoying the artwork. A finished I page can sit after the H pages and before letter J. For the complete letter sequence, use the alphabet coloring pages hub. A child can return later to color a second page using the opposite palette.

Happy coloring!

The tiny island and smiling ice cube are easy places to begin; leave the leaf-filled ivy and decorated invitation for steadier hands.
