Lesson 55: i_e /ī/
Lesson 55 is lesson 74 of 148 in the UFLI Foundations sequence, in the VCe unit, starting on page 188 of the manual.
In short
Lesson 55 teaches i_e /ī/. It comes after Lesson 54 (a_e /ā/) and before Lesson 56 (o_e /ō/). Teach it from the manual, then record the date, the minutes and one rating of how it went.
What to record after teaching it
- The date and the minutes. That is the instruction log.
- One rating, seen cold at the start of the next session: Needs support, Developing or Secure.
- Whether i_e /ī/ needs to come back: next session for Needs support, after about three sessions for Developing.
- A one-line note only if something surprised you.

Questions people ask
Is this the official UFLI Foundations Lesson 55?
No. This page gives the lesson's name, concept, unit and place in the sequence so you can plan and track. The lesson itself is in the UFLI Foundations manual, which you teach from. Literacy Trail is not affiliated with the University of Florida Literacy Institute.
Can a student start here?
Yes, if they read and spell the concepts of the earlier lessons reliably. Start one or two lessons before the first shaky one, which may mean Lesson 54, and mark the earlier lessons as already taught so the record reads correctly.
What if i_e /ī/ does not stick?
Teach the next lesson anyway and bring this concept back for two minutes at the start of the next session. Two Needs support ratings in a row on it means change the approach (build it, write it, then read it) rather than repeat the lesson.
