General Rules for Vowels
1. One vowel, not at the end of the word
As in: Cat; Bed; Pill; Dog; Sun
• one vowel in a word
• the vowel isn’t at the end
It usually has a short sound.
2. One vowel at the end of a word
As in: She; Go; ; Hi; He
• only one vowel
• it comes at the end of the word
It usually has a long sound.
3. Two vowels in a word, last vowel is ‘e’
As in: Bake; Line; Woke; Mute
• there are two or more vowels
• the word ends with the vowel 'E',
Two things happen. The ending vowel 'E' is silent, and
the vowel that comes before it has a long sound.
4. Two different vowels together in a word
As in: Rain; Seal; Tied; Cheat
• two vowel letters are together
The first vowel letter has a long sound and the second
vowel letter is silent.
5. One vowel followed by a double consonant (the same letter)
As in: Dinner; Summer; Pull, Simmer
• a vowel followed by two of the same consonants in a row
(called a double consonant)
A short sound is used for the vowel.
6. Double vowels (same)
As in: Week; Vacuum; Refugee; Wheel;
• two of the same vowels in a row (called a double vowel),
pronounce them as one vowel, using the long sound.
*This rule does not apply when 'O' is the double vowel
