Long Vowel Sound /ī/

Long Vowel /ī/ Phonics Workbook - ie, igh, y is a Science of Reading aligned phonics workbook for Grades 2-4 that helps students decode and spell long /ī/ words with confidence.

Created by an Orton-Gillingham-certified teacher, this structured, systematic phonics workbook targets three key spelling patterns for long /ī/ - ie (as in pie, tie), igh (as in night, bright), and y that says /ī/ (as in fly, my, sky).

This workbook gives students explicit, multisensory practice so they can recognise long /ī/ patterns, decode them accurately in text, and use them correctly in spelling and writing. It is ideal for classroom phonics instruction, reading intervention, small-group work, and homeschool phonics lessons.
