Grade 2 grammar help?

[twogirlsmom]

I have been trying to help my daughter with her grammar homework and I can't figure out a few words, her assignment was to underline the words with the short o sound, the ones we're stumped on are stop, frog, pond, one, and out can anyone tell me if these are short or long o sounds.

The ones she thinks she's sure of are ; foggy, octopus, ox, mop, pot, cot, top, hop, log, mom, and popped. Hopefully one of you will be able to help, I don't ever remember learning this in school and have no idea how to help her . Thank You!

My recollection: long "o" sounds are in words like "stone", "horse", etc. Short "o" sounds are like the words you've already mentioned, which make "frog", "stop", "pond" shoo-ins. "One" and "out" are neither, I think.

That's my $0.02 (Cdn).

Thank you so much for your help, I felt like an idiot posting this but I really needed to figure it out somehow. My daughter will be very thankful as well.

Stop, Frog, Pond and one are short o sounds and Out is is the long o sound. I love English!
