Choose the correctly spelled month: Presidents' Day is in ____.

FEBRUARY is on the USCIS WRITING VOCABULARY list under MONTHS. The correct spelling is 'F-E-B-R-U-A-R-Y' — note the often-forgotten first 'r' after 'Feb.' A common dictation sentence is 'Presidents' Day is in February.' Because February is one of the most commonly misspelled months in English, it is worth practicing. The writing test pairs months with holidays in dictation sentences, and the applicant must write one of up to three sentences correctly. Spelling the month correctly, or at least understandably, helps on the writing portion.
