Choose the correctly spelled name: This President was the first President of the United States.

GEORGE WASHINGTON is on the USCIS WRITING VOCABULARY list under PEOPLE. The correct spelling is 'G-E-O-R-G-E W-A-S-H-I-N-G-T-O-N.' Common dictation sentences include 'George Washington was the first President' and 'Washington is the Father of Our Country.' On the writing test, the USCIS officer dictates one sentence and the applicant writes it; the applicant must write one of up to three sentences correctly. Minor spelling or punctuation errors that do not prevent understanding are generally acceptable, but practicing the correct spelling of high-frequency names like Washington builds confidence.
