Long i words with i-e, igh, y and ie: word wheels and foldables

These printable foldables are for your students to practice reading and writing the four types of long i blends. Use the word wheels to introduce your students to the word families of the igh words, ie words, y as long i words, and the silent e words for the long i sound. There are four word wheels, each for one of the long i word families. Everything is made in printable black and white form for your students to colour them. There are colourful versions of the word wheels are included for optional use. The preview pictures and cover photo show the igh word wheel and foldable. The others (which are included in the file) are done in a similar style. The last page (#18) has an open ended review activity foldable for all of the long i word types.

Your students can use the foldables to:
Name the item in each picture.
Open the flaps and trace the words beneath each flap.
Underline the letter in each word that make up the long i sound.
Sound out the long i sounds in each word then read the words they traced.
