Spelling Bees? Hey, are you scared of them?
No, not the honey-creating insects, but the written word bees
Then why the name Spelling Bee?
The word Bee represents a gathering of people for a celebration, in this case, it's the celebration of spelling in the community.
As quoted by linguist David Crystal, learning vocabulary is crucial as, without grammar, one can communicate little, and without vocabulary; nothing. And hence the spelling bee is an ultimate competition for spelling where thousands of children all over the world take part to spell a wide variety of words, with varying degrees of difficulty. Contestants must memorize and recite the spellings of words as written in dictionaries to take part.
The spelling bee is a sword that is used to encourage children to learn more about the English language, increase their vocabulary, and improve their communication and understanding abilities.

Apart from the 98thPercentile Spell Bee competition, which is the best, of course, there are many other ways to master spellings. Let’s look at them one by one.
● Crossword puzzles
Crossword puzzles are an excellent and fun way to learn to spell. It involves learning various skills like spelling, vocabulary, logic, and the ability to think about word definitions. You can even create your puzzle using various free online tools available. Many board games are also available that can help you practice and perfect your English vocabulary.
● Creating Pyramids
Creating pyramids is the best way to learn to spell. Take any word and put the first letter of the word onto a paper. Underneath it, rewrite the first letter and add the letter following the word. Repeat until you've finished the word, and you'll have your very own pyramid! Consider the following scenario:
S
ST
STO
STOR
STORY
● Use a tape recorder
Read the words into a tape recorder, making sure you pronounce them correctly. Record it as if it were a spelling test. For instance, you might say "Good Morning, and then try to pronounce the spelling before the recording.
● Use Rhymes and Raps
Rhymes and raps are a great way to help children better understand the terms they are learning. One can remember fun rhymes that involve spelling in the same way that catchy music one hears on radio or TV. Children form links between words that rhyme and the addition of rhythms and raps increase the likelihood that they will even begin humming those words.
● Flipping the Card
This technique must sound familiar to cards, but it is a great way to learn spellings. To practice this technique, you would need help from your parents. Your parents will write a word on paper and flip it over. Read the word before it gets flipped, say the letters aloud, and write the flipped word on a piece of paper.
This technique will help you enhance your memory power and improve time or reading and memorizing a word.
● Backward Trick
Writing words backward can help you remember how to spell them (for example, ‘beautiful' becomes ‘lufituaeb'), and the results can be hilarious! You can use these backward spelled words in a sentence to create more fun and see if your family and friends can figure out what the original phrase was. “I like snootrac,” for example, is a reference to ‘cartoons'!
This technique allows you to create a pattern of the word.
Bottom Line
So, now that we have learned the different methods, learning spellings should be fun. Use these methods in your everyday spelling practice to help your child progress to the next level. That is what the 98thPercentile aimed to achieve with Spell Kahoot 2.0
