If you look these words up in a dictionary, you should find a stress marker (‘) before the syllable that is stressed in the pronunciation guide immediately following each word.


For example, Reason = \’rēzən\


Provide = \prə-’vid\


Look for the stress markers to find out which syllable is stressed. Then you’ll be able to find the vowel in that syllable.


Best,


Amy
