Spelling Bee


Question Posted Sunday March 12 2006, 12:37 am

Hey. Well, I am going to be in my county's Spelling Bee, which is in less than 2 weeks. Lately I've been studying out of this booklet of beginning, intermediate, and advanced words they gave us.I was wondering if I should just study most of the words I can, or if there are additional techniques to help me spell these words correctly. Thanks!

When I had to learn spelling when I was at school, my Mum used to make it into a game for me. I used to sit for a while and try to remember all the words and how they were spelt. Then she used to test me on them randomly and made it a little competition between my sister and I.

It sounds a little lame but it really did work and my spelling now is great!

The only other suggestion I have is to make words into a mnemonic. This is where you write a word vertically and then make a sentence using each letter as the first in a word. For example: Hello: Happy Elephant Laugh Loudly Often.
