We are going to learn about variant vowels.

  • Variant vowels are defined as the group of letters that produce the same vowel sounds. Let’s look at some examples.
  • Look at the words below. Each word has the long sound of oo as in spoon or the short sound of oo as in brook.
  • The patterns ew and ue have the long sound of oo, and the spelling patterns ould and ull contain the short sound of oo.
  • The oo spelling can stand for two different sounds.
