I have a list of words:
words=[«alpha»,»omega»,»up»,»down»,»over»,»under»,»purple»,»red»,»blue»,»green»]
I have two functions that are supposed to find the shortest and longest words in this list:
def bigWords(list=[], *args):
largestWord=""
largestLen=0
for word in list:
if largestWord<len(word):
largestWord=len(word)
largestWord=word
print "The longest word(s) in the list is %s." % largestWord
def smallWords(list=[], *args):
smallestWord=""
smallestLen=0
for word in list:
if smallestLen>len(word):
smallestLen>len(word)
smallestWord=word
print "The shortest word(s) in the list is: %s." % (smallestWord)
I have these functions nested so I can call them all at once:
def callFunctions():
###Words###
words=["alpha","omega","up","down","over","under","purple","red","blue","green"]
wordLength=lenList(words)
print "The amount of words[] is %d" % wordLength
func_list2 = [bigWords, smallWords]
for f in func_list2:
map(f, words)
callFunctions()
This is just returning this without inputing the words in the list:
The longest word(s) in the list is .
The longest word(s) in the list is .
The longest word(s) in the list is .

One of my favorite ways to help kids become better readers and spellers is to help them see that words are related, often by spelling pattern. And that’s exactly what these free phonics word lists help kids do. They are a great tool for spelling and reading!
These short and long vowel word lists are a freebie from Printable Spelling Activities & Games and are great for younger learners as well as struggling readers. I’ve included four different fonts {one font in cursive} so that they can fit multiple ages.
*The free download can be found at the END of this post.

Phonics Word Lists and How to Use Them
I created these phonics cheat sheets specifically for playing spelling games with my first grader. Some spelling games we like to integrate include Scrabble Jr., Scrabble Boggle, & Bananagrams.
But it became apparent pretty early on that even though he has above average reading skills, his spelling skills were lagging {normal part of development}. To make up for this, I have made the games less competitive so he doesn’t get so frustrated.
This school year, as I pulled out our games again, I felt he was ready for a little more independence with using spelling strategies, so I created these phonics word lists {cheat sheets} for him to use when we play.
With a little teaching and modeling on how to use the word lists, his frustration level has been lowered and he has more confidence in playing the word games. He knows that with each word on the list, he can change out the red letter{s} and put another letter {or letters} at the front to spell a new word.
The words on the lists contain the most common word family chunks {and some extras as well}. The short vowel sheet* features 80 common word patterns and the long vowel sheet features 105 common word patterns. There is great power in the words because when the first letter {onset} is changed, thousands of words can be spelled!
*Note: The short vowel page has some extra patterns included that aren’t entirely short vowels, like car, ball, and her, just to name a few.

Learn the difference between short and long vowels, when to teach these sounds, and the rules for these sounds. For extra classrooom help, print the two free vowel anchor charts, with capital and lowercase letters and bright pictures to teach the long and short vowel sounds!
Teaching Long & Short Vowels
Of the 26 letters in the English alphabet, the letters a, e, i, o, and u are vowels. The other 21 letters are consonants.
Every English word MUST include at least one vowel. That’s why knowing and practicing vowel sounds is so important when it comes to reading!
Children need to be introduced to these academic terms as early as pre-k, and they should leave kindergarten able to quickly and easily identify vowels and consonants in words.
This will be key as they begin progressing and coding words throughout elementary school!
Short vowels are taught along with other letter sounds. Begin teaching short vowel sounds in pre-k and continue teaching them throughout all of kindergarten and the beginning of first grade.
👉 Rule: When there is one vowel in a word, either at the beginning or between two consonants, it usually has a short vowel sound.
Examples
- Short A words: cat, map, hat, an, flag, bam, rat, fad, had, wag, jab, pan, chap, ram.
- Short E words: leg, leg, pet, slef, hen, men, Zed, net, web, wed, west, hem, fed.
- Short I words: is, in, lip, rim, lip, slid, pin, lick, lob, fin, thin, Tim, pin, fig, fit, hip, hit, whip.
- Short O words: on, not, log, off, blog, mop, Tom, nod, slop, fox, fog, flop, hog, hop frog.
- Short U words: up, ugly, mug, mud, lug, slum, fun, slug, rug, pup, slub, hug, hum, jug, jot.
Long Vowel Sounds
Long vowels are usually taught after the first few months of first grade.
Students should have a firm command reading words with short vowels, digraphs, consonant blends, and closed syllables before long vowels are introduced. They’ll continue learning long vowel spellings throughout the next few years of elementary school.
👉 Rule: Long vowels say their name.
- Long A says /ā/.
- Long E says /ē/.
- Long I says /ī/.
- Long O says /ō/.
- Long U says /ū/.
Long vowel sounds can be heard at the beginning, middle, or end of a word. Long vowels can be spelled with a silent e (VCe pattern), a vowel team, or in an open syllable.
👉 Although there are many different long vowel spellings, I focus heavily on the ones we find most frequently in text, marked with an asterisk (*) below!
Long A
There are 8 ways to spell Long A:
- a like baby*
- a-e like cake*
- ai like rain*
- ay like day*
- ei like reindeer
- eigh like eight
- ea like steak
- ey like hey
Long E
There are 8 ways to spell Long E:
- e like equal*
- e-e like scere*
- ee like bee*
- ea like read*
- y like baby*
- ei like reiceipt
- ie like cookie
- ey like turkey
Long I
There are 6 ways to spell Long I:
- i like lion*
- i-e like bike*
- igh like light*
- y like fly*
- y-e like type
- ie like pie
Long O
There are 5 ways to spell long O:
- o like no*
- o-e like home*
- oa like boat*
- ow like bow*
- oe like toe
Long U
Long u can actually make TWO sounds: ū (yoo) and ū (oo).
There are 5 ways to spell Long ū (yoo):
- u like unicorn*
- u-e like mute*
- ue like argue*
- ew like curfew*
- eu like eucalyptus
There are 7 ways to spell Long ū (oo):
- u like ruler*
- u-e like tube*
- ue like glue*
- ew like stew*
- oo like balloon
- ou like soup
- ui like fruit
👉 Tip: Do not teach all of the spellings above at one time. Instead, follow a systematic approach for teaching all of the spellings listed above.
Work on one spelling pattern at a time until students have mastered it, then move on.
If you don’t know where to start, the Recipe for Reading book helps parents and teachers practically implement Orton Gillingham methodology with students.
Printable Anchor Charts
To help teach these concepts to kids, print both of the two free posters that can be used as anchor charts. One is focused on short vowel sounds and the other is focused on long vowel sounds.
The posters are designed to help promote both uppercase and lowercase recognition for each of the five vowels.
Each poster includes a bright picture that matches the keyword and includes the vowel sound.
Both posters use words where the vowel sounds are found at the beginning, allowing kids to hear and identify beginning sounds in words.
The Short Vowel Poster includes:
- A a – /ă/ – apple
- E e – /ĕ/ – elephant
- I i – /ĭ/ – igloo
- O o – /ŏ/ – octopus
- U u – /ŭ/ – umbrella
The Long Vowel Poster includes:
- A a – /ā/ – acorn
- E e – /ē / – equal
- I i – /ī/ – ice
- O o – /ō/ – ocean
- U u – /ū/ – unicorn and /oo/ like ruler.
