Short and Long Vowel Sounds Worksheet
How to say it (Stretch or keep it short): Short i (ship, sit, fill): quick and relaxed, the tongue a little lower. Long ee (sheep, seat, feel): stretched, lips spread in a smile. Short oo (full, book, good) is quick; long oo (fool, food, moon) is stretched with round lips. If the meaning changes when you stretch the vowel, take care: ship ≠ sheep.
