About this resource

Letter I Spelling Puzzles This phonics resource helps young learners practise spelling letter I words through engaging hands-on puzzles. Students build words like insects, iguana, ill, and ice using large, visual puzzle pieces. Each letter of the word is a separate puzzle piece featuring a colourful image related to the word. Use these spelling puzzles in literacy centres, morning tubs, tabletop activities, and more. The puzzles assess skills like spelling, letter sounds, and fine motor development. Print, laminate, and cut out the four included puzzles for a ready-to-go small group or individual activity. Children will love piecing together the words and matching letters to sounds as they learn. Discover more phonics and early literacy teaching resources for Reception and Year 1 in my store here.
