Created for Schools to Organize Their Own Spelling Bees

Supports Grades 1–8

 

Overview

Overview

Participating in spelling bees significantly enhances students' academic success by improving their spelling, vocabulary, and overall understanding of the English language. Beyond these benefits, spelling bees also develop valuable skills such as public speaking, adhering to precise rules, and the discipline of long-term study. While some students find their niche in sports, music, or the arts, for others, spelling bees provide a unique opportunity to excel and shine.

The deadline to purchase/pay for the Spelling Bee Kit for the 2024-2025 school year is December 20, 2024.

Price for the Spelling Bee Kit (grades 1-8 all included) - $290

  1. Instructions for running an ACSI Spelling Bee at your school
