How do you. spell two-syllable words with short e, a, i, o, and u

sounds in CVC pattern?
For you to spell the words in CVC pattern, you need to master

blend these letter sounds to create a new two-syllable word.
The short /a/ sound is like the sound of a in ‘apple.’
The short /e/ sound is like the sound of e in ‘egg.’

 The short /i/ sound is like the sound of i in ‘ink.’
