Key Points
The words Jane and vase are spelled with a in the
middle and end with e. They are pronounced with a
long /ā/ sound as in rake, pale, and same.
The words Mike, like, ride, and bike are spelled with
i in the middle and end with e. They are pronounced
with a long /ī/ sound as in ice, time, and kite.
The word Hope is spelled with letter o in the middle
and ends with letter e. It is pronounced with a long /ō/
sound as in bone, rope, and cone.
