	Dutch Grammar :: spelling and pronunciation :: short vowels
		Short vowels are single vowels that are followed by one or more consonants within the same syllable.
		When a word ends in a consonant, it is easy to see that the single vowel preceding this consonant is a short vowel: the word fregat (frigate) ends in a consonant (t) and is preceded by a single vowel (a), which is thus a short vowel.
		But if the single vowel sits somewhere in the middle of a word, you need to divide the word into syllables to see whether the vowel sits at the end of the syllable (long vowel) or whether it is followed by a consonant within the same syllable (short vowel).

		Elision is the omission of one or more sounds (such as a vowel, a consonant, or a whole syllable) in a word or phrase, producing a result that is easier for the speaker to pronounce.
		In general, a high vowel (/i/ or /u/) that appears in a low-pitched syllable between two voiceless consonants is devoiced, and often deleted outright.

	BBC - Words and Pictures - Teachers and Parents Intro
		Long vowel sounds are particularly difficult for children as each sound can be represented by a variety of different letter combinations (the long 'a' sound for example can be represented in at least six different ways: day, grey, eh!, great, train, gate).
		Vowel phonemes are notoriously difficult because many of them can be spelt in two, three or even more different ways e.g.
		It is unlikely that young learners will discover these alternative spelling patterns for themselves through their own reading, so it is important for them to be given regular opportunities to see these vowel spellings in sufficient quantities for them to be able to gain familiarity with the alternative patterns.

	Stevenson Learning Skills \| Food For Thought
		“Short vowel” words, also frequently called “closed syllable” words, have always been an important part of the Stevenson Program, but most of these words were previously introduced during the second level (The Basic Blue Level).
		Author Nancy Stevenson, during her long years of teaching, found that long vowel sounds were easier than short vowels for young and high-risk students to discriminate, isolate, retrieve and blend.
		There are also disadvantages to teaching long vowel words first, but Nancy overcame these disadvantages by applying her mnemonic clues, the crunchy peanut butter and jelly sandwich and the layer cake.
