The Alphabet

VOWEL SOUNDS

Short:

Apple Elephant Insect Octopus Umbrella

The most common sound for each vowel is its “short” sound:

• ă, pronounced /æ/ as in apple, pan, or mat,

• ĕ, pronounced /ɛ/ as in elephant, pen, or met,

• ĭ, pronounced /ɪ/ as in insect, pin, or mitt,

• ŏ, pronounced /ɒ/ as in octopus, ostrich, upon, or motto,

• and ŭ, pronounced /ʌ/ as in umbrella, pun, or mutt.

When syllables end in a vowel and then consonant, the vowel is usually short.
 Long:

Snake Beans Ice-cream Coat Unicorn

• Long A (ā), pronounced /eɪ/ as in ate or mate,

• Long E (ē), pronounced /iː/ as in eat or meat (or meet or mete-- all pronounced the same),

• Long I (ī), pronounced /aɪ/ as in mite or might,

• Long O (ō), pronounced /oʊ/ as in oats, mote or moat, and

• Long U (ū), pronounced /juː/ in mute.

Silent ‘E’ Rule: When a vowel and consonant are followed by an ‘e’, the ‘e’ is almost always silent, but it causes the
preceding vowel to be long. (Examples: ate, plane, Pete, bite, nine, rope, note, cube, flute.)

Other Long Vowels: A vowel at the end of a syllable is almost always long. Examples: I, we, he, she, go, try, potato and
tomato.
