What does it mean to sort words by common vowel sounds and like spelling patterns?

Words that have similar vowel sounds can be grouped together, as the same sound can be made by different spellings. For example, all of these words would have the same long I sound: I words (isle, mild, find, sign) IGH and IGHT sounds (high, sigh, light, might) I words with silent E (bite, wine) IE words (die, lie, pie) EI words (stein, fraulein) AI words (aisle) Y words (my, try, type, rhyme) AY Words from French (bayou, cayenne)
