What are the vowel sounds in the

CVC stands for "Consonant-Vowel-Consonant." It's a common pattern found in many English words and is often used when teaching phonics and early reading skills. In a CVC word, the word is made up of three letters: a consonant, a vowel, and another consonant.

In a CVC (Consonant-Vowel-Consonant) word pattern, the vowel sound is typically a short vowel sound. Short vowel sounds are pronounced quickly and crisply, as opposed to long vowel sounds, which are pronounced the same as the letter's name. Here are the short vowel sounds in CVC words:

• "a" - pronounced as in "cat" (/æ/ sound)
• "e" - pronounced as in "bed" (/ɛ/ sound)
• "i" - pronounced as in "pig" (/ɪ/ sound)
• "o" - pronounced as in "dog" (/ɑ/ sound)
• "u" - pronounced as in "cup" (/ʌ/ sound)

These vowel sounds can sometimes vary based on regional accents, but these are the most common pronunciations for short vowels in CVC words.
