A vowel is usually short when there is only one vowel in a word or syllable as in on, red and fantastic. A vowel is long when it says its own name. When a single vowel is at the end of a word or syllable, it usually makes the long vowel sound, as in go and paper. Vowels also have long sounds when they’re paired with a silent e or when they are vowel digraphs (two vowels paired together). Vowels in syllables Every syllable of every word must have at least one vowel. A vowel can stand alone in a syllable, as in unit and animal. It can also be surrounded by consonants, as in jet, shut and fantastic. Silent ‘e’ When e is the last letter in a word, and there’s only one other vowel in that word, the first vowel usually says its own name and the e is silent, as in cake. Consonant digraphs and blends In a consonant digraph, two consonants work together to form one sound that isn’t like either of the letters it’s made from. Examples include chap, ship, think and photo. Consonant blends are groups of two or three consonants whose individual sounds can be heard as they blend together. Examples of that are clam, scrub and grasp. Vowel digraphs and diphthongs In a vowel digraph, when two vowels are paired together, the first one is long and the other is silent, as in boat, paint and beach. In a diphthong, a new speech sound is formed when two vowels are paired together, as in cloud or boil. R-controlled vowels When a vowel is followed by an r in the same syllable, that vowel is “r-controlled” and is no longer short. Sometimes we refer to the r as “bossy r” because the r “bosses” the vowel to make a new sound, as in spark, cork, germ, birthday and burn. The ‘schwa’ sound Any vowel can make the schwa sound; it sounds like uh. Words like banana, vitamin, item, and another have the schwa sound. The schwa is only found in words with more than one syllable, but never in the “accented” syllable. The schwa is the most common sound in the English language! Soft ‘c’ and hard ‘c’ and soft ‘g’ and hard ‘g’ When the letter c is followed by the vowels e, i or y, it usually makes its soft sound. Examples of that are cent, circus and cytoplasm. The letter c also makes a hard sound, as in cat and cocoa. When the letter g is followed by the vowels e, i or y, it usually makes its soft sound. Examples of that are gel, giant and gym. The letter g also makes a hard sound, as in gas, go
