May Contest
May 31, 2009
The April winner is Susan Alles from Rio Rancho, NM
– Congratulations!
Now, Here’s the Contest!
Words have syllables (beats of energy) that can be counted. Use your fingers to tap each time you hear a syllable when you say the word “possible”: “po”-1, “ssi”-2 “ble”-3. Three syllables, right? Again, tap your fingers in the same way when you say it. You’ll notice that the first tap is louder/longer than the others—that means the first syllable is stressed: “PO-ssi-ble.”
School is ending soon in many places, so these words are related to summer. Which word on this list that has three syllables with stress on the second syllable?
