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.
