Many readers have difficulty with short vowel sounds. Proper key words are important. For example, some letters alter the vowel sound articulation, as with the g in egg (e can sound like an a) and igloo (where i may be pronounced more like an e). Other letters “hide” the vowel because students hold on to the second letter, such as the “l” in elephant, “m” in umbrella, or “i” in insect. Dialect can impact pronunciation of other vowels, such as with the word orange.
