A long vowel sound is a vowel that says itself. Or, that's how I always remembered it. So, when you pronounce a word, you hear the letter A (or another vowel).
Here's two examples not on your list: Bean (you hear the E), Fine (you hear the I).
Just say the words out loud, or read each syllable slowly.
Good luck!

The long A is the sound in gate; short a is apple.
Long E is the sound in evil.
Long I is, well I (same sound as eye)
Long O is the sound in obey
Long u -- oops! I can't think of a word.
So, using those words as guide, say each word on the list. If one of them is using those long vowels, it's one of the ones.

Pronounce them for yourself and see which ones have the long vowel sounds!
If you need help have others in your home pronounce them as well!
