Thread: Long and Short Vowel Word Pairs.

I know I have list around somewhere but during a recent adjustment in space at the school I can't seem to find them.

I want to use them for practice. Does anybody have a link or suggestions.

I have all the magic "e" stuff thank you. Looking for other pairs and combinations

This is what I'm looking for:

pant......paint......

etc.

I'm looking lists focusing on most frequent vocabulary lists.

Anybody suggest.

Thanks a lot.

• Long a (ā) sound as in ape, snail, ache, explain, and reindeer
• Long e (ē) sound as in eat, agony, needle, pianist, and electricity
• Long i (ī) sound as in eye, cry, tightrope, tile, and violin
• Long o (ō) sound as in oh, domino, ghost, pillow, and stethoscope
• Long u (ū) sound as in you, salute, toothbrush, goose, boot, and costume
• Short a (ă) sound as in at, taxi, anniversary, laboratory, and tackle
• Short e (ĕ) sound as in elm, elevator, jellyfish, pentagon, and dentist

• Short o (ŏ) sound as in hop, camouflage, garage, chop, father, paw, and binoculars
• Short u (ŭ) sound as in up, cut and subtract

I'll see if I can find a list on my other computer

Ah, found what I was looking for

Thanks Cream.

Those are just the spelling variations for the short and long vowels, not what I'm looking for.

The other are the magic "e" components, I've got all I need there as well.

In any case thanks for the response.

I'm a going to have to go digging through my papers tomorrow.

If I can't find I should be able to put an adequate list together in a few hours of concentrated work.

Thanks again.

pant...paint.....pint

Yes pint.

I need one
