Short Vowel Sound: i Worksheet by Vals Little Pals | TPT - Free Printable

To solve this problem, we need to look at each word in the list and decide if the letter "i" makes a Long I sound (like in "ice cream") or a Short I sound (like in "igloo").

Here is the step-by-step sorting:

1. bin: The "i" sounds like "ih". -> Short I
2. ice: The "i" says its name ("eye"). -> Long I
3. lice: The "i" says its name ("eye"). -> Long I
4. nib: The "i" sounds like "ih". -> Short I
5. bit: The "i" sounds like "ih". -> Short I
6. idea: The first "i" says its name ("eye"). -> Long I
7. line: The "i" says its name ("eye"). -> Long I
8. nice: The "i" says its name ("eye"). -> Long I
9. fish: The "i" sounds like "ih". -> Short I
10. kind: The "i" says its name ("eye"). -> Long I
11. mine: The "i" says its name ("eye"). -> Long I
12. sign: The "i" says its name ("eye"). -> Long I
13. hit: The "i" sounds like "ih". -> Short I
14. kit: The "i" sounds like "ih". -> Short I
15. mitt: The "i" sounds like "ih". -> Short I
16. wind: In this context (usually paired with short words), the "i" sounds like "ih" (like blowing wind). -> Short I
