learn words where the sound
is spelled as i. This sound is
known as the long i sound.
Rule:The
letter i often has the long sound in
two-vowel words, or two-vowel combinations, where the first vowel
is i and the second vowel is silent. For example, in the two-vowel
word tire
the i is long and the e
is silent. Also, in the two-vowel combination tie
the i is long and the e
is silent.
