Spell Bee Word: Award


What does award mean?

Word: Award

Part of Speech: Noun

Meaning: Award means something such as a cup, a medal or a certificate that is given to someone for doing something very well.

How do you spell award?

Syllables: a - ward

Tricky part: The ar in award sounds like or, so the vowel after the w is easy to get wrong. After w, the letters ar often make that or sound, as in warm and war.

Watch out for: awad, aword, awarde

Memory tip: Look for war inside award. The ar says or here, just as it does in war.

Award in a sentence

Example 1: Riya got an award for the neatest handwriting in class.

Example 2: Our school gives an award to the best reader every year.

Example 3: Dadaji keeps his old cricket award on the top shelf.
