Abstract: This study investigates the correspondence between the spelling and pronunciation of English words, focusing on monosyllabic words. By applying the permutation and combination methods and the maximum onset principle, we systematically analyze the various forms of monosyllabic words preceding with zero consonant, single consonant, double consonants, and three consonants before vowels. The systematic analysis of vowel replacements (E, I, O, U) within C-V combinations unveils distinct patterns for long and short vowels, diphthongs, triphthongs and r-controlled vowels. The findings reveal the underlying regularities that impact the pronunciation of English words. The study is designed to cultivate phonological awareness in second language acquisition, paving the way for in-depth research on the relationship between the spelling and pronunciation of multi-syllabic words in English through the (((C)C) C) V((((C)C) C) C) model.
