What is a long vowel sound?

Long vowel sounds are vowels that are pronounced the same as their name. You’ll often hear teachers say that long vowels “say their name”.

Long vowels are very common but they can be tricky because there are so many spellings for each long vowel sound.

There are actually 4 ways to make long vowel sounds:

Vowels at the end of a syllable make the long sound. For example, in the words me and halo (ha-lo) the vowels are all at the end of a syllable so they make the long sound.
Silent e makes the previous vowel long. The words bike and phone have a silent e at the end that makes the previous vowel long.
Vowel teams can make the long sound. Vowel teams work together to make one sound, and usually, it’s a long vowel sound. For example, boat and meat both have vowel teams that make the long sound.
I or O can be long when they come before two consonants. In words like cold and mind, i and o make a long vowel sound.

Long Vowel Words

Long vowel sound words are words that have vowels that say their name. Below are a few examples:

Tips for teaching the long vowel sounds

Teach one spelling pattern at a time!

I don’t mean one vowel sound, but just one spelling pattern. So for example, if you’re working on long a, you would work on the spelling pattern a silent e (cake, same, cave) until students have mastered it, then move on to ai, and so on. You should not be teaching multiple spelling patterns together, even though they make the same sound.

I know that most programs out there combine all the long vowel sound spelling patterns into one lesson, especially in spelling lists, but this does not work for struggling readers. You need to break it down for them and only do one at a time.

Teach the syllable types.

Because syllables have a lot to do with whether vowels make the short or long sound, if students do not already know the 6 syllable types then teach them along with the long vowel sound.

Here are resources for each syllable type:

closed syllable
open syllable
final silent e syllable
vowel team syllable
r combination syllable
consonant le syllable

Use a variety of activities to practice each spelling pattern.

Games, dictation, word sorts, memory or matching with flashcards, word hunts, textured writing, body spelling, and bingo are all fun ways to practice the long vowel sounds.

The main activity that is often overlooked is dictation. It seems so simple but the task involves listening to a word, deciding on the spelling, and transferring that info to written form. These are all skills that struggling readers need to practice.

Teach the spelling generalizations.

Some of the long vowel spelling patterns are spelling rules that make it easy to remember.

For example, ai is usually found at the beginning or middle of a syllable, and ay is usually found at the end of a syllable. [Examples: rain, aim, play, daytime]

Here is another example with long o: oa is usually found at the beginning or middle of a word, and ow is usually found at the end. [Examples: boat, coach, snow]

List of Short Vowel Words

The English language provides a list of short vowel words that seem to be never ending. A short vowel word is any word that doesn't allow the vowel within it to generate that vowel's long vowel sound.

List of Short Vowel Words

For example, the word "bug" is a short vowel word because there's no long "U" sound. A word doesn't necessarily have to have three letters to be a short vowel word, but it makes for the easiest example and three-lettered words make up the bulk of any list of short vowel words. Let's take a look.

Short Vowel Sounds in Words

Here's the reason why words with only three letters typically make the short vowel sound. Three letters usually don't allow for a second vowel to force the long vowel sound out. Exceptions include words like "bee" or "tea."

These words use a second vowel to force the long vowel sound from the first one, while other words like "ant" or "mat" use the placement of consonants to force a short vowel sound.

But, here's an important point to keep in mind. The words listed below are short vowel sounds, not short vowel spellings. That is, just because a word is short, doesn't mean it will automatically have a short vowel sound. And vowel as written doesn't always correspond with the sound it makes. Take the word "pretty." The E is sounded like a short I, and the Y is sounded like a long E. Phonetically, it sounds more like "prit-tee," not "pret-tai."

Likewise, we can't assume a long word will automatically have a long vowel sound. Let's look at the word "business." The U and E in "business" are also sounded like a short I, and the I is silent altogether. Phonetically speaking, we don't pronounce it "buss-eye-ness." It's more like "biz-niss." With that in mind, let's explore more short vowel words, sorted by letter.

Short "A" Words

The short A sound is what you hear in words like "bat" or "map." Here are some other great examples of words with the short A sound.

act	apt	ask	bat	bad	bag	cat
cap	cab	dad	dab	Dan	fan	fat
fad	gap	gab	gal	gas	ham	has
had	hat	jab	jam	lab	lad	lag
lap	man	mad	mat	map	nap	pan
Pam	pad	pal	ran	ram	rag	rat
Sam	sad	sag	sat	sap	tab	tan
tad	tag	tap	van	vat	yam	zap

Short "E" Words

The short E sound is what you hear in words like "gem" or "hem. " Here are some other great examples of words with the short E sound.

ben	bed	beg	bet	den	fed
gem	get	gel	hen	hem	jet
keg	led	leg	let	men	met
net	pen	peg	pet	red	set
ten	Ted	vet	yet	wed	wet

Short "I" Words

The short I sound is what you hear in words like "dim" or "fib." Here are some other great examples of words with the short I sound.

bin	bid	big	bit	dim	did
dig	dip	fin	fig	fit	gin
gig	him	his	hid	hit	hip
jib	jig	kin	kid	kit	lid
lit	lip	nip	pin	pig	pit
rim	rid	rig	rip	sin	sit
sip	tin	tip	win	wit	zip

Short "O" Words

The short O sound is what you hear in words like "con" or "nod. " Here are some other great examples of words with the short O sound.

bog	bop	con	cod	cog	cot
cop	don	dog	dot	fog	god
got	hog	hot	jog	jot	lob
log	lot	lop	mob	mom	mop
nod	not	odd	pod	pop	pot
rod	rot	sod	Tom	tot	top

Short "U" Words

The short U sound is what you hear in words like "bus" or "hum." Here are some other great examples of words with the short U sound.

bun	bum	bus	bud	bug	but
cud	cut	cup	dug	fun	gun
gum	Gus	gut	hum	hug	hut
jug	jut	lug	mug	nun	nut
pun	pug	pup	rub	run	rum

Using Short Vowel Sounds

Though the above list of words with short vowels is incomplete, you can use it to understand the basic usage for the short vowel sounds. These short vowel sounds are often used in larger words as well. You might see them in words that also contain long vowel sounds, or even in two-lettered words, like "in," "it," and "at." Longer words, such as "magistrate" or "fascinate," use both short long vowel sounds.

Some words use the short vowel sound and the long vowel sound, depending on the tense of the word. Words like "read," for example, are pronounced as the long vowel sound when the tense is present. For example, "We are reading this list of short vowel words."

However, when the tense is changed from present to past tense, the long vowel sound is taken away and the short vowel sound is introduced in the same word. For example, "I read the list of short vowel words, and understand much better now."

Pronunciation Pros

If you're teaching short vowel sounds to little learners, practice makes perfect. If you're teaching ESL students, here are some tips and resources for teaching ESL pronunciation. And, when you're ready for the flip side of the coin? Take a look at these examples of long vowel words too. You might also want to explore when "y" is a vowel.

The longest words in the Russian language

The Russian language is considered quite difficult, compared, for example, with German or English, although Scandinavian languages are probably in the first place in terms of the degree of difficulty in pronouncing words.

There are many long words in it. If we talk about the longest, then in the Guinness Book of Records the longest word in the Russian language is declared "X-ray electrocardiographic" , it has 33 characters. It was the record of 1933. And in 2003 it was replaced by a word of 35 characters - "highly contemplative" .

Chemistry is a storehouse of the longest words
Although their leadership is formally recognized, in analytical chemistry there are simply huge names of substances, since they are built according to a certain scheme. For example, the adjective "tetrahydropyranylcyclopentyltetrahydropyridine" consists of 55 letters. Or "methoxychlorodiethylaminomethylbutylaminoacridine" - 44 characters.

Another example: the prefix "great-" can be used in a concept that indicates the degree of relationship, many times - "greatgreatgreatgreatgreatgreatgreatgreatgreatgrandfather" . Theoretically, this word can be stretched indefinitely. Word formations from numerals that denote certain quantities can also be extremely long: “thousand nine hundred and seven six centimeter networks” - 43 characters. However, regarding all these examples, philologists are still arguing whether to consider them the longest words in the Russian language. They are not universally used, and the possibility of making endless designs distinguishes them from the bulk.

The longest verbs and other parts of speech
If we talk about verbs, then the longest words are “re-examine” and “internationalize” , they contain 24 letters, if you form word forms with an ending from them, for example , "-ing" , then you get 25 letters. In the longest nouns - "misanthropy" and "excellency" - also 24 letters each - you can create word forms in the plural, and you get 26 letters (although the first word is not used in the plural). Among animate nouns, the most letters - 21 each - in words "eleventh grader" and "clerk" . The longest interjection recorded in Russian dictionaries is "physical education hello" .

We are used to the fact that prepositions and conjunctions are short words, but the word “respectively” falls out of the general row, it has 14 letters. The situation is similar with adverbs - there is only one long adverb "unsatisfactory" , consisting of 19 letters.

Some argue whether it is possible to consider nouns and adjectives with hyphens as the longest words in the Russian language, because they are “glued together” artificially, but still pay attention to them: in word "agricultural engineering" - 38 characters, and in "stubber-bulldozer-loader" - 31. Similar words include an adjective (although it is without a hyphen) "electrophotosemiconductor" - 28 characters and "water and mud peat paraffin treatment » - 29 characters. The longest food word formation - out of 38 characters - "bread sausage kindly productive" . The word is funny, but at the same time noted in an authoritative source - the spelling dictionary of the Russian Academy of Sciences (responsible ed. V. V. Lopatin).

The longest words in literature
If we recall classical literature, Nikolai Leskov has in one of his popular stories the word “in a wise way” . Interestingly, no one can reliably explain what it means - most likely, Leskov himself invented it.

Probably the longest abbreviation will also make an indelible impression on you: "NIIOMTPLABOPARMBETZHELBETRABSBORMONIMONKOH-OTDTEHSTROMONT" . We will not list the full name of this institute - it will take a whole paragraph. Imagine how difficult it was for the employees of this scientific institution to name their position or place of work if necessary.

An interesting fact - there is an extremely long word for phobia - the fear of just long words! It sounds like this: hippopotomomonstrosesquippedaliophobia (37 characters). By the way, this is actually a Latin term "hippopotomomonstrosesquippedaliophobia" , which is recognized as the longest word in the world.

The most difficult words
Many interesting facts can be found about the most difficult words in the Russian language. For example, it is generally accepted that three "e" are only in the word "long-necked" . Meanwhile, there is also snake-eater . You can also find words starting with “Y” in dictionaries - “Ytyk-kuyol” , “Ygyatta” , “Ynykchansky” and so on. All of them are difficult to pronounce due to unusual combinations of letters for us. There are plenty of other difficult-to-pronounce words in the Russian language. They are especially inconvenient for announcers or lecturers, whose job is just to pronounce texts aloud. In particular, these words include the words "benefited" , "preceded" , "participated" , "beneficial" , "Novodolashsky" . The words "euphemism" , "county palatine" , "pre-holiday" cannot be called simple either.

This is how it is - the Russian language, rich in long words.
