Some sample words for the short vowel sounds are listed below:

a - cap

e - bet

i - kit

o - not

u - cut

If you want to make those words into words with long vowel sounds see this list:

a - cape

e - beet

i - kite

o - note

u - cute

You might notice that in each example an e was added to the word to make it a long vowel sound. Did you notice that the extra e in beet is not at the end of the word like the others? It works that way sometimes.
