Your child hears the I sound — ih! — again and again, sees the capital letter I, and watches Iguana make the shape of the letter I. Then meets six I words right on the beat: igloo, insect, ink, inchworm, invitation and instruments.
What your child learns
- The letter I and its sound – ih

The words
I! I! I! Ih, ih, ih!
I is for Iguana, Iguana, Iguana! I is for Iguana — ih, ih, I!
Ih-ih-igloo made of snow, ih-ih-insect on the go, ih-ih-ink goes splish, splash, blue, I is for Iguana — how do you do!
Ih-ih-inchworm, inch along, ih-ih-invitation to a song, ih-ih-instruments, ting, ting, ting, I is for Iguana — everybody sing!
Stand up straight, so tall and thin, tail on the ground and chin tucked in, stand tall, Iguana — look, she's an I! (Blip!)
Is it in? It is in! Pop the insect in the tin! In the igloo, in the box, I is for Iguana — in my socks!
Say it with me: ih! (ih!) Say it again: ih! (ih!) Point your finger: ih! (ih!) Stand up straight: ih! (ih!) Ih, ih, ih, ih — I! I! Iguana!
Blip! Blip!
I is for Iguana, Iguana, Iguana! I is for Iguana — ih, ih, I! I is for Iguana, Iguana, Iguana! I is for Iguana — ih, ih, I!
Igloo, insect, ink, inchworm, invitation, instruments — I is for Iguana...
