January Contest

The December Contest winner is Robert Beauchamp of Vancouver, WA -- Congratulations!

Each American English vowel sound can be spelled many different ways. If you listen carefully to how a word is pronounced and not depend on the spelling to know how to pronounce it, you’ll have better pronunciation.


Now, Here’s the Contest!

Many people have been traveling recently for holidays and school breaks, so we have chosen words relating to travel for this month’s contest. By matching the vowel sound in the person’s name to the vowel sound in the name of the vehicle, pair each of these names to the way each person travels. (Example: Angela drives a van.)

1. Erica ............ a. bus
2. Jon ............... b. airplane
3. Sunny .......... c. train
4. Jake ............. d. car
