Hi. I agree with another commenter, this is a great question. There are a lot of things that affect pronunciation of vowel sounds when you read. I have 2 suggestions for you. 1 Here is a list of spelling articles written for English learners, with worksheets: https://www.really-learn-english.com/english-spelling-rules.html 2 Check out ESLFast.com, where you will find short stories with audio. This will help you to begin connecting the sound with the spelling. One note, On ESLFast, there are a couple of stories with some rude language. I hope this was helpful.

You might find these 14 rules helpful. https://www.understood.org/en/learning-attention-issues/child-learning-disabilities/reading-issues/14-phonics-rules-for-reading-and-spelling#slide-1 Edit: If you click the printer icon, all 14 rules will be put into one pdf document.

This is a great question! Vowel sounds change depending on where they are in the word and how close they are to another vowel. One example is "e" that uses a short sound when it id by itself like "egg, let, red". When you have "e" before another vowel, it usually is a long vowel sound like in "eat, meet, treat, keep". These are simple examples, but I hope it helps you begin the process of understanding how to pronounce different English vowel sounds!

there are 5 vowels.. and about 20 vowel sounds.
