Do the words bike and kite have long i sounds?

No, the words "bike" and "kite" do not have long i sounds. They have short i sounds.

Here's why:

* Bike: The "i" sound in "bike" is similar to the "i" in "sit" or "pin". It's a short, sharp sound.

* Kite: The "i" sound in "kite" is also similar to the "i" in "sit" or "pin". It's a short, sharp sound.

Long i sounds are typically represented by the letter "i" followed by a silent "e" at the end of a word, like in "bikee". You can also hear a long i sound in words like "time" or "smile".
