Long vowels are used to refer to the vowel sounds whose pronunciation is the same as its letter name. Long vowel sounds are also called ‘alphabet sounds.’ They are called long vowel sounds because we hold them longer than short vowel sounds. I will be sharing Pack 2 of words with the ea sound. You can find Pack 1 of long e words’ on my blog.
Let’s take an example. Hear the sound of the vowel ‘e’ in the word Ben. It is the short vowel sound /e/.
Now hear the sound of ‘ea’ in the word bean. It makes the alphabet sound of the alphabet ‘e.’
Let me share a few more examples.
