What is the Schwa Sound?
The schwa sound is the most common vowel sound in spoken English.

Its a quick, relaxed, and neutral pronunciation that sounds a lot like a short u or uhh.
Think of words like wonderful and Monday.
The schwa helps us pronounce unstressed syllables quickly, making the main beats of spoken words easier to emphasize.
The schwa sound doesnt have a precise, standard pronunciation.
Because it sounds so similar to the short u, many dictionaries use the same symbol for both sounds.
Practice through play is a wonderful way for kids to master tricky sounds and words.
With this game, your little ones will be spelling and reading like pros in no time!
