Help your students, in grades 5-8, build confidence, improve academic achievements, expand their vocabulary and work towards goals by participating in the Spelling Bee. It helps promote literacy, improves comprehension and can develop study skills. Register your school today to give your students the challenge of spelling words.The Spelling Bee is a series of spelling contests starting at your local school and district level. The winner from the district will advance to the Regional Bee in Redwood Falls. The top four regional winners will then participate in the Multi-Region State Spelling Bee in Fergus Falls. That winner will then advance to the National Spelling Bee. The champion of our Multi-Region Spelling Bee will win an all-expenses-paid trip (including one adult) to compete in the 2022-23 Scripps National Spelling Bee in Washington, DC.
