Question

sort the words by their vowel sounds. life tie six ride five slide short i long i

Explanation:

To sort the words by vowel sounds:

• Short "i" sound: In "six", the vowel "i" has a short sound (pronounced as /ɪ/).
• Long "i" sound: "life" (has long "i" as /aɪ/), "tie" (has long "i" as /aɪ/), "ride" (has long "i" as /aɪ/), "five" (has long "i" as /aɪ/), "slide" (has long "i" as /aɪ/) follow the long "i" vowel sound pattern (often with a silent "e" at the end or vowel - consonant - vowel structure where the first vowel is long).

Answer:

Short i: six
Long i: life, tie, ride, five, slide
