Choose the correctly spelled holiday: We celebrate ____ in November.

THANKSGIVING is on the USCIS WRITING VOCABULARY list under HOLIDAYS. The correct spelling is 'T-H-A-N-K-S-G-I-V-I-N-G.' A common dictation sentence is 'Thanksgiving is in November.' The writing vocabulary's holidays include Presidents' Day, Memorial Day, Flag Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Columbus Day, and Thanksgiving. On the writing test, the officer dictates a sentence and the applicant writes it, needing one of up to three correct. Practicing holiday spellings, paired with their months, prepares applicants for the dictation sentences they are most likely to encounter.
