@notthewayilearnedit: Do you know when I vowel makes it short sound? A vowel makes a short sound when the vowel is closed in by consonants at the end of the syllable. For example: blink, clasp, drop in all of these words there are consonants following the vowel, therefore the vowel makes its short sound. #vowels #closedsyllable #phonics #fyp #educationallearning
