Looking to help your beginning reader practice reading and spelling short i words? Check these out!
Need a creative approach to spelling practice?
Writing the words a few times each isn’t all that fun, and it’s often not effective. Try these milk cap spelling mats for a fun approach to beginning reading and spelling.
Simply print the free spelling mats and pull out some milk cap letters. You can download free patterns and view our tutorial if you’d like milk caps like ours!
The download includes the following words:
- pit, sit, hit, lit
- wig, twig, pig, dig
- tip, rip, ship, chip
- pin, fin, twin, spin
- hill, pill, grill, drill
- kick, sick, lick, chick, pick, stick
When you print the download front to back, you child can slide off the caps and flip the mat over to check his spelling.
You might also have your child only do the sides with the printed letters. He or she d will still get plenty of practice reading and forming words.
Remember to print pages 2-27 front to back. (Page 1 is my Terms of Use.)

My 1st grader and preschooler love these! I thought they couldn’t get any better until I realized short I is one download. Super easy! Thank you!
You’re welcome, Angie! I’m trying to put things in fewer downloads as I update old posts. Eventually I will put giant sets into single downloads for a small fee, but the individual files will still be free. So glad you like these!
