Letter II no wonder it's called - "AI", so it is read, but ... not always.

*** The reading of English vowels is influenced by other letters that make up the word (see). How a letter or a combination of letters in an English word is read is exactly shown by transcription signs - icons inside square brackets.

Here are examples open syllable, after the letter i there are no other letters, and it is read :

One letter word I always capitalized and read = "AY" - this is the pronoun "I"
hi- - "hi" - hello

Closed syllable, after a vowel i there is a consonant that "closes" the vowel, making the syllable closed. Letter i read [i]:

big- "BIG" - big
pin- "PIN" - pin

But if you add a vowel at the end of such a word, for example, a dumb letter e, the syllable will be open:

pine- "PINE" - pine

Vowel e at the end of such words it is not readable, but forms a second syllable. The first stressed syllable is open:

The letter combination igh reads:

h igh- high
h igh t - height
l igh t - light
n igh t - night
br igh t - bright

dau ght er ["dɔ: tə] - daughter
lau gh- laugh
bou ght- bought
bou gh- bough
plou gh- (British) plow (Amer., plow)
borou gh[ˈbʌrə] - (small) city, ...
