Download the FREE Word Club app to help you study! Parents and teachers alikecan download the Word Club app from Google Play or the App Store today!You might want to watch the movie Akeelah and the Bee (Rated PG) to help get inspired. Here is a preview...Another great spelling movie is the documentary, Spellbound. Click here for a clip.Most of the work for the bee will need to be done by students on their own time. There are suggested lists for studying. I would suggest studying the Level 1 and 2 lists and move up to level 3 from there. These lists don't include all of the possible words, but they are a good start for studying.
Spelling Bee Practice lists available below:

The above lists are combined lists. Individual Grade Level Practice Lists are available in the library. All students will want to learn as many of these words as possible before the written test in January.
Your 3rd-5th grade child will take the written test and the vocabulary test at school sometime in January.
I will sort them out and invite the top 25-30 to the oral bee after school in February (parents/families invited). The winner of our Centennial Spelling Bee will have the opportunity to go to the Colorado state bee in Denver!
