Revision Test 4 – Long and Short Vowel Sounds

TWO TYPES OF LETTERS

Vowels

There are 5 single vowels in English: a, e, i, o, and u. Sometimes, the letter y also acts as a vowel. English words are built on vowels. Every word must have at least one vowel. Some vowels can be words by themselves, such as the words "A" or "I".

Vowels have three different sounds: short vowel, long vowel, or r-controlled vowel sounds.

Short Vowel Sounds

The five most important sounds are the short vowel sounds. If you know these sounds you will be able to spell a lot of words.

The vowels are A, E, I, O and U. They are named by their long sounds. Their short sounds are:

A as in ant E as in egg I as in ink O as in old U as in umbrella

Pattern: Consonant-Vowel-Consonant A single vowel between two consonants is usually short.

Example: C-A-N: The vowel "A" is short because it is between the consonants C and N.

Consonants

Most consonants (15 of them) have just one sound.

They are B F H J K L M N P R T V W Y Z (But Y can also have a vowel sound.)

B as in bag F as in fat H as in hat J as in jam K as in kid

L as in leg M as in man N as in nose P as in pet R as in run

T as in top V as in vet W as in wet Y as in yes Z as in zoo

Some single consonants (6 of them) have more than one sound. They are C G D Q S X

More about these later!

Long Vowel Sounds

THE MAGIC E

When E is at the end of a word it is silent, but the vowel before it changes to a long vowel. The pattern of the word is usually Consonant-Vowel-Consonant-Silent E.

Example: In the word tape, the A is long and the E is silent.

TWO VOWELS TOGETHER

Usually, when two vowels are written together, the first vowel is long and the second vowel is silent.

Examples: meat, seat, plain, rain, goat, road, lie, pie, day, say.

VOWEL AT THE END OF A SHORT WORD

When a short word ends in a vowel, it is usually long.

Examples: he, she, ago, no

VOWEL AT THE END OF A SYLLABLE

When a vowel ends a syllable, it is usually long.

Examples: cha/os, de/cay, gi/ant, ti/dal

12. Consonant Blends BL, BR, CL, CR, DR

Definition: Consonant blends are 2 or 3 single consonants that work together to make a sound.  Each consonant within the blend must be heard. 

There are 3 main types of consonant blends: L-blends, R-blends and S-blends.

Examples of L-Blends: black, clean, flat, glad, plug

Notice the position of the L; it is located at the end of the blend.  Also, in these examples, the l-blend begins the word; however, the blend may appear anywhere within the word.

Examples of R-Blends: brown, crime, dream, frame, grade, print, trick

Notice the position of the R; it is located at the end of the blend.  Also, in these examples, the r-blend begins the word; however, the blend may appear anywhere within the word.

13. Consonant Endings CK, FF, LL, SS

Silent Consonants There are many different consonants that are silent when they are combined with other letters. For example, C before K is silent. Why? It is because C has no sound of its own. What we hear in words such as snack and sack is the sound of K.

In a double consonant one consonant is silent. The second L in the word bill is silent, as is the second F in stuff and the second S in miss.

Poem from “Oh Say, Can You Say?” – Dr Seuss

Upon an island hard to reach,

The East Beast sits upon his beach.

Upon the west beach sits the West Beast.

Each beach beast thinks he’s the best beast.

Which beast is best?…Well, I thought at first

That the East was best and the West was worst.

Then I looked again from the west to the east

And I liked the beast on the east beach least.

Y at the end of a two or more syllable word sounds like long E. Examples: many, happy, baby

17. CONSONANT DIGRAPHS CH and SH

Consonant digraphs are made up of two consonants working together to make one sound. The most important consonant digraphs are: CH, SH, TH, PH and GH. Often a consonant digraph begins a word, but it can be anywhere in the word.

The consonant digraph SH digraph sounds like asking someone to be quiet, as in "shhhhhhhhhhh!" Examples of SH digraphs: share, shave, should

Sound of the consonant digraph CH: The CH digraph has three sounds.

The most common is CH as in cheese or chat.

CH can also sound like SH as in chef and niche.

Sometimes CH can sound like K, as in chaos and ache.

Try saying these words: chest shrew child chief sheaf

W or Q before A or AR

When a W sound comes before the letter A, it changes the vowel sound to O. This is true even if there is a silent H between them.

Examples: was, want, what.

If it is an R-controlled A, it has the sound of an R-controlled O.

Examples: war, wart

Q has the same effect because Qu has the sound KW, so it is a W sound before the A. Examples: quad, quarrel, quarter
