Long Vowels
Remember!
A vowel-consonant-e (VCe) spelling pattern usually produces a long vowel sound (vote, bite), but long vowel sounds can be spelled in other ways.
- Long e can be spelled ee or ea (heel, wheat).
- Long o can be spelled oe or oa (toe, boat).
- Long i can be spelled y (fry, type).
- Long u can be spelled ue (blue).
