The “Intro” to “Isaac the promised infant” gives a brief overview of the core components found in a unit for the letter “Ii”.

The first of these components involves an adapted, narrated and illustrated “Story”. The last is an original “Song” in which the children are seen dramatically retelling the story. The other two components are instructional videos for manuscript “Handwriting”, and interactive “Craft” supporting the story.
