Let’s go row by row and find which object has the long vowel sound for each letter.
---
Row 1: Long “a” sound
We need to find the word that sounds like “ay” (as in “cake” or “rain”).
- Cat → short “a” (like “bat”)
✘
- Cake → long “a” (sounds like “kayk”)
✔
- Ball → short “o” sound
✘
→ Circle
cake

Row 2: Long “e” sound
Long “e” sounds like “ee” (as in “see” or “bee”).
- Nest → short “e”
✘
- Bed → short “e”
✘
- Sheep → long “e” (sounds like “sheep”)
✔
→ Circle
sheep
---
Row 3: Long “i” sound
Long “i” sounds like “eye” (as in “bike” or “five”).
- Pig → short “i”
✘
- Five → long “i” (sounds like “fye”)
✔
- Bin → short “i”
✘
→ Circle
5 (five)
---
Row 4: Long “o” sound
Long “o” sounds like “oh” (as in “boat” or “go”).
- Frog → short “o”
✘
- Boat → long “o” (sounds like “bote”)
✔
- Orange → short “o” at start, but not long “o” overall
✘
→ Circle
boat
---
Row 5: Long “u” sound
Long “u” can sound like “you” (as in “tube”) or “oo” (as in “moon”), but here we’re looking for “you” sound.
- Tube → long “u” (sounds like “tyoub”)
✔
- Bun → short “u”
✘
- Sun → short “u”
✘
→ Circle
tube

Final Answer:
Circle these objects:
- Row a: cake
- Row e: sheep
- Row i: 5 (five)
- Row o: boat
- Row u: tube
