September / October Contest

September 01, 2010

Congratulations!

Tricia Hanson of Truman State University in Missouri was the contest winner for January-February.

The vowel sound UH is a very easy sound to make, but it can be spelled many different ways. So, it is hard to know from the spelling of a word that it has the UH sound. You may know it is the sound in “sun” and “what” but did you know it is also in “machine,” “double,” and “nothing”?

Now here’s the contest:

Which words have the UH sound?
