Introduction and Conclusion Write-Up

Vowel length is an important aspect to note especially when dealing with certain dialects of the English language. De Chene (2014) asserted that vowel length is primarily defined as the amount of time taken to pronounce a particular vowel. The known vowels include a, e, i, o, u. Vowel sounds can be classified as either short or long depending on their vowel length. The most words with short vowel sounds usually have the vowels o, e, and a including hot, hen, and pan respectively. Young learners especially kindergarten and 1 st grade draw immense value from these words because they are easy to master and write. The short sounds created by vowels o, e, and a provide learners with a plethora of words that could act as a background for their understanding and appreciation of the English language.
