Mark Bowen / Scripps National Spelling Bee
I won district bee. How do I prepare for regional spelling bee? Can you please help me any word list. How do we know what kind of words are asking in specific region
There is no appointed list but the best one to study is the ‘words of champions’ you can buy a physical copy on amazon and there digital copies all over the internet. Good luck!
Hi, I just won my district spelling bee using the “Word Club” app, but I didn’t know if there are any other apps or programs that I could use to study for the regional. Thanks, Jake
Congratulations. I won also district spelling bee. Do we need to prepare any separate list for Regional bee other than list published by Scripps (4500 words)
For Regionals, there is no other list than the WotC.
I’m a previous winner of school, regional, and state level bees and my study tactic was writing down each word three times and then spelling it in my head five times until I was thoroughly comfortable with each and every word.
You should look at the spelling list(by searching it up) and then write it 5 times and say it in your mind 5 times. That made me be a school spelling bee champion easily.
I have a spelling bee at my school Monday and if I win I get to go on to county level I’m scared
Best of luck to you!

Hi Cole, I am the new Pronouncer for the Thunder Regional Spelling Bee in Oklahoma City on March 6. I would like to acknowledge your accomplishments in this regional Bee event. I have a couple of questions for you. What school did you represent in 2015 when you were the National Runner-Up? How old were you? In the previous years, did you place in the Top 10? Thanks for your help. If you are in Oklahoma City on the 6th, stop by! Regards, David Ragland 918-645-4934. E-mail is davidr@kenco-eng.com
PLS HELPME MY SPELLING BEE IS TODAY
Are you E W Scripts so I can go online and purchase the program Spelling Bee Supplement
how do you win if they ask you the words but not in order
you do not have to memorize the order of the words, you should know how to spell them
They have an order they have to go in. We can’t and won’t know that order.
I won the spelling bee last year thanks to myspellit.com!
How can I study CWL effectively?
It’s good to read the whole thing 3 times, (which I am currently doing) and then look for words that might trip you up or you think are hard, (spelling and vocab) and put the in a spreadsheet and revise them. btw, my name is Jeremiah, and I’m in the 6th grade. (I also made it to nationals in 2019 when I was in 4th grade)
What word list did you practice from to win School, county and regional bee
Dear Cole, my dream is to win the 2021 National Spelling Bee But I don’t now where to start. I have won my school spelling bee 2 years in a row and I always mess up in the county spelling bee. I did worst this year than last year! I couldn’t spell my 1st word correctly! Can you please help me!
Memorize Merriam-Webster Unabridged and that should make you a champ
Hi, Cole, this is Kara. I will be an eighth grader this year. Back in January, I became my county’s spelling bee champion. I never had my regional spelling bee because of COVID-19. Nevertheless, they will still do it. Meanwhile, I have been studying nonstop. I am even thinking about creating a spelling website, some study guides, and a spelling book! I appreciate that you are helping students improve their everyday vocabulary and that you are encouraging them to attend the Scripps National Spelling Bee! Overall, I am pleased you created this website! Thank you so much!
Well, I didn’t know the etymology. Thanks for the tip though!
Hello! It’s Jessie from Spellingbee of China. We would like you to teach one of our online classes to Chinese students. Can you give me a call at 443-813-8328
or email me at jessie.liang@jrglobalmanagement.com
thank you for being so positive about helping others but cut the act we all know those kids have no chance of succeeding
wtf you need to have a better look on the world and it will back
Iām in the spelling bee
but im not I wish!!!!
Owen, you should have thought of Italian, since Autostrada ends in -strada, meaning street in italian.I do see how you got confused on the etymology though.
whos owen
Owen commented on this page on May 30th, 2019. If you scroll down a little bit, you will see Owen’s comment.
I NEED THIS In Jan.
Good fo u
I just got out in the NSB on Autostrada, thinking it was a t instead of a d because strat means street in latin. Was autostrada on your lists?
Owen, you should have thought of Italian, since Autostrada ends in -strada, meaning street in italian.I do see how you got confused on the etymology though.
Are all the words on Spell It for the County Bee?
No. All words in Merriam Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary, 11th Edition, are fair game.
Have you looked at: https://www.amazon.com/dp/198753591X
Will it help for the vocab test?
My school bee is Monday! Hope I do well and win again !! š
Iām in the spelling bee
cool
Hi I have a spelling test on Friday December 7. I canāt find the words for it please help!
What do I study for a school bee?
You can ask your teachers for a word list, or go to words of the champions for school level words.
I need to know why we have words for 6-8 when im in 8 grade and its a lot of words we getting all the words and we just got the paper today and the spelling bee tomorrow
this is an awesome website, thank you for this article!
STUDIED ALL MY WORDS GOOD LUCK MY SPELLING BEE IS TOMMOROW WISH ME LUCK
how do you study for round one of snsb
I have read the list for 5th Graders and I would like to know who comes out with the list. Is there a special interest agenda being pushed on the kids. My son came home with a list of words such as āMethuselahā. I wonder how is that productive, normal,practical or even beneficial to know Noahās grand father.
That is just crazy!!!!
Scripps makes the lists. Because for the school bees, it is mostly rote memorization, it is more plausible than memorizing the entire dictionary for nationals, say. Btw, In fifth, this is the list I asked my teacher for as extra after I studied the first one, so I think that the teachers select the lists, although Scripps writes them.
I really canāt find the spelling list for my school(citrus elementary)which is weird because my friend Nester found seven hundred words for it. Please help,my spelling bee is on January the twenty-fourth!!!
