President’s Day
The letter “s” can sometimes be an “s” sound (e.g., case), and sometimes a “z” sound (e.g., rise). Common spellings for the “s” sound are the letters “c” and “s” (e.g., peace, bus). Common spellings for the “z” sound are the letters “z” and “s” (e.g., prize, lose). The word “President’s” has a “z” sound (pronounced “prezident’s”). Compare with the word “precedence” which has the “s” sound (pronounced “presedence”).
