It looks like you've uploaded a worksheet titled
"Vowel Sounds Sort". The task is to
read and sort each word under either "long vowels" or "short vowels" based on the vowel sound in the word.
Here's the list of words provided:
- cat
- king
- name
- pig
- plan
- dog
- dish
- game
- cape
- bike
- rain
- log
- map
- tale
- sun
- mile
- run
- huge
- twin
- swim

Step-by-step Solution:
We need to determine whether the vowel in each word makes a
long vowel sound (like the letter name, e.g., /ā/ in "cake") or a
short vowel sound (e.g., /æ/ in "cat").
Let’s go through each word:
#### 1.
cat – /æ/ → short vowel
#### 2.
king – /ɪŋ/ → short vowel (the 'i' is short)
#### 3.
name – /eɪ/ → long vowel (a as in "ape")
#### 4.
pig – /ɪ/ → short vowel
#### 5.
plan – /æ/ → short vowel
#### 6.
dog – /ɒ/ → short vowel
#### 7.
dish – /ɪ/ → short vowel
#### 8.
game – /eɪ/ → long vowel (a as in "ape")
#### 9.
cape – /eɪ/ → long vowel
#### 10.
bike – /aɪ/ → long vowel
#### 11.
rain – /eɪ/ → long vowel
#### 12.
log – /ɒ/ → short vowel
#### 13.
map – /æ/ → short vowel
#### 14.
tale – /eɪ/ → long vowel
#### 15.
sun – /ʌ/ → short vowel
#### 16.
mile – /aɪ/ → long vowel
#### 17.
run – /ʌ/ → short vowel
#### 18.
huge – /juː/ → long vowel (u as in "you")
#### 19.
twin – /ɪ/ → short vowel
#### 20.
swim – /ɪ/ → short vowel

Final Sorting:
####
✔ Long Vowels:
- name
- game
- cape
- bike
- rain
- tale
- mile
- huge
> These words have vowel sounds that match the letter names:
> - *a* as in "name" (/eɪ/)
> - *i* as in "bike" (/aɪ/)
> - *u* as in "huge" (/juː/)
####
✔ Short Vowels:
- cat
- king
- pig
- plan
- dog
- dish
- log
- map
- sun
- run
- twin
- swim
> These words have vowel sounds that are not the letter names:
> - *a* as in "cat" (/æ/)
> - *i* as in "king" (/ɪ/)
> - *o* as in "dog" (/ɒ/)
> - *u* as in "sun" (/ʌ/)
> - etc.
