Now we are going to look at a new word family. All these words end in:

-it

What are the two letters that make up this family name? ('i', 't')
This family has a short-i (that is, /ĭ/) vowel.
Let's sound out this family name:
- Sound out each letter. (/ĭ/, /t/)
- Now blend them together to form the family name. (/ĭt/)
- Look at the letters and practice it again!
You have just blended the name of the -it word family.

Each time you see the family name letters 'i, t', try to blend them together to form /ĭt/. We want to say /ĭt/ every time, like you just did!
