Qubee letter I

Sounds like a short i, as in hit.

I is letter 11 of the 31 Qubee letters of Afaan Oromo. It is one letter with one sound, so a child learns it once and traces it as one shape.

Tooth — starts with I

Teaching I to a child

Say the sound first, then let the child trace it. A quick ih, short and light. Ask for one more word that starts with I — a name in the family counts — and the letter becomes a game rather than a lesson.

In the app the whole stop takes a minute or two: trace I, hear it, pick it out of four letters, then watch the hut on the road raise its flag.
