Question

how to understand the long vowel sound and short vowel sound of a word

Answer 1

Answer:

A long vowel sounds like the name of the letter. For example, a 'long A' sounds like the letter A. A 'long E' sounds like the letter E. So when does a vowel make a 'long vowel' sound? This usually happens one of two ways:

The first way to make a long vowel sound is to put two vowels next to each other. When two vowels appear next to each other, the word usually makes a long sound of the first vowel. This is the case in words like 'bead,' 'seed,' 'mail,' and 'boat.' Notice how the word 'bead' makes the long E sound and the word 'mail' makes the long A sound.

The second way to make a long vowel sound is to place an E at the end of a word. Placing an E at the end of a word also creates a long vowel sound. This happens in words like 'bake,' 'bike,' 'mote,' 'mute.'

Notice how the word 'mute' makes the long 'U' sound and the word 'bike' makes the long 'I' sound.

Short Vowels

In many words, vowels do not make a long sound. They make a short vowel sound instead. How can you tell the difference? Finding short vowels is actually pretty easy: if it doesn't sound like any of the vowel letters, then you know it's a short vowel! Short vowels usually sound like the following:

A = 'ah' as in 'apple'

E = 'eh' as in 'egg'

I = 'ih' as in 'insect'

O = 'awe' as in 'bog'

U = 'uh' as in 'tug'

Let's take another look at our example words from before: 'bug' and 'bugle.' Notice how the word 'bug' does not have the long U sound that the word 'bugle' does. The word 'bug' has a short vowel sound

Vowels at a Glance

Long vowel sounds sound like you are saying the letter itself. Short vowel sounds occur when the letter is not pronounced the way it sounds. Long vowel sounds are created by placing two vowels together or ending the word with an 'E. '
