Spelling 

Short Vowels

Short-Vowel Rule: When one-syllable words have a vowel in the middle, the vowel usually has a short sound. Examples: cat, dog, man, hat, mom, dad, got. If the letter after the vowel is f, l, or s, this letter is often doubled. Examples: staff, ball, pass.  


Short Vowels Can Be Spelled in Four Ways

  1. The most common way: a single vowel in a closed syllable usually says a short sound.
    (In a closed syllable, a single vowel is followed by a consonant.)

    • In the word cat, A is followed by T and says /ă/.

    • In the word pet, E is followed by T and says /ĕ/.

    • In the word dish, I is followed by SH and says /ĭ/.

    • In the word mob, O is followed by B and says /ŏ/.

    • In the word tub, U is followed by B and says /ŭ/.

  2. Vowel teams can make short vowel sounds.
    (In a vowel team, two vowels work together to make one sound.)

    • EA can say /ĕ/ as in bread and sweat.

    • OU can say /ŭ/ as in touch and young.

  3. Single vowels can say the short sound of other vowels.

    • A after W can say /ŏ/ as in water and want.

    • Y in a closed syllable says /ĭ/ as in gym and myth.

    • O can say /ŭ/ as in love and oven.

  4. A vowel can make the short U or short I sound in an unaccented syllable.
    (A schwa is a muffled vowel sound heard in an unaccented syllable in many English words.)

    • A can say /ŭ/ as in about.

    • E can say /ĭ/ as in enemy.

    • I can say /ŭ/ as in family.

    • O can say /ŭ/ as in bottom.

    • U can say /ĭ/ as in minute.

    • Y can say /ŭ/ as in syringe.

Please note: the sound a schwa makes in a particular word may vary by region.
