Preparing for the Spelling Bee
Dr. Jacques Bailly, the Bee's official pronouncer, has great tips for studying in preparation for the Spelling Bee. He says:
"Start wherever you are."
"Reading is a great way to improve your spelling. Read frequently and look up the words you do not know in a dictionary or ask someone what they mean."
You can read his whole article on preparing for the bee HERE.
