Hello, friends! I am SuperLexia, your guide to spelling and grammar. Let’s learn how to use words correctly and make our language super strong!
Do you know the vowels? They are the letters A, E, I, O, and U. Let’s say them together: A, E, I, O, U. Great job!
Each vowel has two special sounds: a short sound and a long sound. Short vowel sounds are quick and snappy, like little ninjas. For example, the letter A in “cat,” “bat,” or “map” is short: “a.”
Long vowel sounds are like superheroes because they say the vowel’s name. In words like “cake,” “gate,” or “plane,” we hear the long sound of A: “A.”
Short sound: “a” in “cat,” “bat,” “map.”
Long sound: “A” in “cake,” “gate,” “plane.”
Short sound: “e” in “leg,” “bed,” “egg.”
Long sound: “E” in “me,” “he,” “she.”
Short sound: “i” in “igloo,” “wig,” “chick.”
Long sound: “I” in “ice,” “five,” “white.”
Short sound: “o” in “log,” “mom,” “dog.”
Long sound: “O” in “go,” “bone,” “snow.”
Short sound: “u” in “up,” “umbrella,” “bus.”
Long sound: “U” in “unicorn,” “music,” “human.” Sometimes, it sounds like “oo,” as in “blue” or “tube.”
Let’s see if you can tell if these words have short or long vowel sounds:
Awesome job! Keep practicing, and you’ll become a spelling superhero in no time!
We’ve learned a lot today, but there’s so much more to discover! Check out more fun videos on the Smile and Learn educational channel. Let’s keep learning and having fun together!
Vowel Sound Hunt: Go on a vowel sound hunt around your home or classroom! Find objects or items that have short or long vowel sounds. For example, look for a “hat” for a short “a” sound or a “cake” for a long “A” sound. Make a list of the items you find and share them with your friends or family. Can you find at least one item for each vowel sound?
Vowel Sound Sorting Game: Create two boxes or baskets labeled “Short Vowel Sounds” and “Long Vowel Sounds.” Write down different words on small pieces of paper, such as “bat,” “cake,” “leg,” and “me.” Mix them up and take turns picking a word, reading it out loud, and deciding if it has a short or long vowel sound. Place it in the correct box or basket. See how many words you can sort correctly!
Vowel Sound Storytime: Write a short story or draw a comic strip using words with both short and long vowel sounds. For example, you could write about a “cat” that finds a “cake” or a “dog” that goes on a “snow” adventure. Share your story with your classmates or family and see if they can spot the different vowel sounds!
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:

Hello, citizens! I am SuperLexia, the guardian of spelling and grammar. I help make language excellent by following the rules. Let’s defeat spelling and grammar mistakes with the power of clear and impactful expression!
Today, we’re going to talk about short and long vowel sounds. Do you know the vowels? Of course you do! They are the letters A, E, I, O, and U. Let’s say that one more time: A, E, I, O, U. Perfect!
Did you know each vowel has two sounds? A short sound and a long sound. Short vowel sounds are quick and snappy, like tiny ninja warriors that make quick sounds. For example, the letter A. When we say the letter A in words like “cat,” “bat,” or “map,” it sounds short: “a.”
Long vowel sounds have a superpower—they make the vowel say its name. Listen to the words like “cake,” “gate,” or “plane.” We hear the long, powerful name of the letter A: “A.”
Let’s look at the short and long sounds for the other vowels:
– **Letter E**: The short vowel sound is “e,” as in “leg,” “bed,” and “egg.” The long vowel sound is its name: “E,” as in “me,” “he,” and “she.”
– **Letter I**: The short sound is “I,” like in “igloo,” “wig,” and “chick.” The long sound is its name: “I,” as in “ice,” “five,” or “white.”
– **Letter O**: The short sound is “o,” for example, in “log,” “mom,” or “dog.” The long sound is “O,” like in “go,” “bone,” or “snow.”
– **Letter U**: The short sound is “u,” as in “up,” “umbrella,” or “bus.” The long sound is its name: “U,” like in “unicorn,” “music,” or “human.” Sometimes, long U sounds like “oo,” as in “blue” or “tube.”
Okay, spelling superheroes, here’s your mission: Do these words have short sounds like tiny ninjas or long vowel sounds with the name of the vowel?
– “Cat”: short, like a ninja.
– “Ice”: long, we hear the name of the vowel.
– “Cub”: long, we hear the name of the vowel.
– “Bed”: short, like a ninja.
